God Given Daisies — by
THERE
I am in a stage where on a daily basis I meet a lot of people, and when I am alone, I write.
I write letters, send cards, write grants and proposals, and sometimes just write words, phrases and quotes. When I feel I am unable to do anything else, I write. It makes me feel somewhat productive.
Through my writing, I have met some wonderful people and many doors have been opened to me.
In fact, just a note to a lady having had seizures and not being able to get her pilot's license led me to six years of writing God Given Daisies for SFPNN. In one of my e-mail notes to her I said "That she will fly higher with the Angels and in her work for God than she ever could in a plane." Hmmmm…
What does this all have to do with ordinary people?
Well, some people may consider themselves ordinary people. But, when they receive a note of "Thanks" for taking the time to give extra service or for a job well done, they feel a little extraordinary. That feeling makes them want to pass that on to others.
Sending notes and little cards, or visiting an elderly person makes them feel special. In return, their praises make the sender feel special.
Recently I wrote a note to a poet telling her how moved I was by her poem. She wrote back thanking me for my kind words and she told me to look at other poems that she wrote that were now on a CD with music and photos.
It was about "A Day In
the Life of a Soldier... " It was moving, soul searching and
beautiful. I wrote to her again saying that I represented a military art museum
that was now in negotiation to open a Museum
Honoring All Heroes. Those in the military, coast guard, firemen,
policemen, and other rescue workers will all be honored. She gave me the rights to use this CD or
Amazing, that strangers would trust me with their work. She also said that she read some of my stories.
Some stories in God Given Daisies have traveled
the globe and have taken on a life of their own. I get e-mails from
Today's message for you:
"There are no ordinary people in this world."
"Everyone is truly unique."
"Each one of us has a purpose."
"Each one of us, touched by God, can accomplish extraordinary things."
