Working together to make a difference
It is easy, at times, to be wrapped up in our own little worlds. It is easy, to remain uninterested in those that we don’t personally know or have any real connection to. It is easy, just to keep going in the same tracks that you have walked in past years.
It is easy, no doubt about that. But, is it satisfying? This year, as 2007 gets underway, I would challenge anyone and everyone to find one thing that is outside their normal scope and pursue making a difference. There are so many worthy causes we can become a part of. Whether you have a few hours a week that you can read to an elderly resident in a nursing home or someone confined to their own home; or perhaps, you have a few dollars left at the end of your week that you can donate to a charitable organization — it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you do something.
Our world is a great place to be. We have the power to make it even greater. One person at a time, working together to make a difference. Now that’s a New Year’s Resolution, we can be proud of.
