How Will You and I Finish?

Everyone has (maybe not) the story of the dash and how that little dash between the date you were born and the date you died represents your entire life and question yourself and ask:  What will my dash show of me when I am gone?

So today I was reading and came upon the statement:  Stop judging by mere appearances and make a right judgement.

Judements are so easy to do.  You're sometimes doing them without even realizing you are.  There's the obese person, the person sitting on the side of the road asking for money or work, there's the young person with spiked red or blue hair, there's the young lady with numerous piercings, or the young boy with really long hair.  Even getting out of bed can be a judgement as we look at the weather and comment.

Stopping this behavior isn't easy and takes constant effort just as waking up and going to a job you dislike.  It requires looking at ourselves internally and objectively and saying:  I'm not perfect so who am I to judge?

It  requires looking at our behavior and asking what can I do to be a better person?  It means being HONEST with ourselves and making right judgements about ourselves no matter how ugly it may be--the point is to turn it around.

In 1998, I realized I was an ugly person and needed to change.  I'm constantly evolving and trying to be the best person I can be.  Why? 

1.  Because I want to be a good person

2.  Because I want to role model for my children and grandchildren

3.  Because my husband deserves the very best person/wife

4.  Because our world is such an ugly place right now, it needs a few good people

5.  Because when doing something nice for someone, it can solicit a smile and that in turn brings warm fuzzies.........yummm

6.  Because people gravitate to good people, not bad.

7.  Because I want to!!!!!

As I slowly?????  turn the years over, and I'm praying there's a lot more, I'm hoping that what I'm doing will be seeded in others thereby causing an epidemic of good people.

I'm hoping that when I die, that I will finish strong, with no regrets, and a full heart. 

I'm hoping that when I die, that my family and friends will know that they have been loved by me, that I couldn't have asked for anything more in my life and that truly LOVE is the best gift of all.

So if you would like, please respond to this blog and let me know what I can do to improve on me which in turn will be passed to you.

Love to all
