Sometimes, as we're going through our days, we forget that we touch other people's lives, and that everything we do and say can have an affect, either good or bad, on people we might not even know.<br><br>
And sometimes, a person that probably didn't plan on being a hero in your life might just accidently become one, maybe by doing something extraordinary, or maybe by just showing extraordinary kindness and empathy.<br><br>
What I'm saying is, we all have plenty of love to share - we don't have a limited supply, it's not like a fuel or a drug or money. The more we give, the more we have. Even a small gesture can bring a moment of joy to someone's otherwise dreary day. And that moment of joy becomes a part of them, changing them forever.

I have no doubt that your post is a fitting example of both of these statements.<br><br>
Thanks for putting this out there, TG. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[techgoddess]

Thanks, SGH - you always project such a positive attitude!

 

[runningINnyc]

And thus it continues on and on... Why not be a positive contributor to the world you face, it's a win/win. Thanks for post, TG!

 

[coachie]

and love is a strong word, but I really, really, really, like you.

 

[seattlegirl]

Aw, you made me tear up. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[techgoddess]

I'm quite certain that Sluggerrrr loves you. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

Hey coachie, how is your basketball team doing this year? Here in KS they're just starting the state tournaments - don't you coach high school girls? I hope you're having a good season.

 

[coachie]

thanks for re-opening that wound!<br><br><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
but, good memory! yes, I coach HS girls.

 

[runningINnyc]

aha! My opportunity to chant a big ole ROCKCHALK JAYHAWK to someone who really appreciates it. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> How great was the senior night came on Monday?!?!?

 

[techgoddess]

That was incredible - I don't think anyone saw that coming!

 

[techgoddess]

Sorry!<br><br>
I guess we're even for the Royals comment, eh? <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

 

[runningINnyc]

We listened to the senior speeches on Sirius post-game. I was close to tearing up ...I need to give Darnell Jackson a big ole HUG!!!

Let me just add something to my original post - there are people on this forum who have changed my life with their acts of kindness and love and support. And a few who have made little jabs that changed me in not-so-good ways as well. But mostly, you're almost all very dear to me.

 

[coachie]

tg,<br><br>
sorry for the jab about the royals. I was joking. I joke.<br><br>
you're pretty cool. and bugdude too.

 

[techgoddess]

I know you were joking, silly! I didn't consider that a jab - if you didn't dog the Royals, I'd think you didn't like me. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[Xavier Dan Q]

Those moments of joy are why I read the PRT goings on almost every day.<br><br>
That, and the opportunities for attention whoring, of course.<br><br>
You have brightened my day many times, TG. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
My best to you and Bugdude, your kids and the whole TG zoo.

 

[altoids]

{{{TG}}} I <heart> you
