Never Again

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any KINDNESS I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.”

~ a quotation generally credited to Stephen Grellet (1773-1855), but without proven attribution

When I was growing up, I used to hear my dad say this quotation. I believe it’s one of his life’s mottos and true enough, he’s one of the most giving and generous people I know. This saying somehow stuck with me through the years and I have come to internalize it many times… Although, honestly, I'm still finding it hard to live it out... 

It’s good to be reminded that LIFE IS FLEETING. And we really have just ONE LIFETIME to make it matter. 

As we start another busy week, may we find the time to offer a hand to someone who needs it badly. A family member, a friend, an officemate or classmate.. A stranger.. Whoever it may be, let's try to grab that opportunity. I’m sure it’s going to be worth the extra effort and time. J

Have a nice rainy day, friends!  

May our hearts be open to uplift another...
