Extraordinary Things Are Happening RIGHT NOW

While preparing for my Moment of Wisdom at my upcoming staff meeting, I feel in love with a new outlook. Instead of thinking about things to be thankful for, as it is Random Acts of Kindness week, I thought it was important to think about the extraordinary things that are happening for others. 

Don't believe me?

Right now...

• A small group of people are building something that will soon make the impossible possible
• A piece of literature is being written that will eventually change your perspective on life
• Young children all over the world are singing and dancing before they even realize there is no music
• A friend is helping a friend rise above the thoughts of suicide
• There is someone out there who smiles when they think of a specific moment they once shared with you.
• Someone is thinking what you're thinking, but hasn't said anything yet either
• Somewhere someone is admiring a breathtaking sunrise and somewhere else a surreal sunset
• People of various religious backgrounds are in temples, churches, mosques and other places of worship praying, wholeheartedly, for world peace
• Hundreds of cute elderly couples are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary
• Two best friends are laughing so hard they aren't even making any noise
• A future world leader is in grade school at recess (this one gave me chills)
• There's a kid studying hard somewhere who aspires to get where you are in life
• Someone in your vicinity genuinely wants to be your friend
• Someone is taking a shower and singing happily at the top of their lungs
• A high school athlete just broke her own personal record
• Someone is hugging a friend who desperately needs it
• A grandfather is holding his granddaughter's hand and they're both smiling from ear to ear
• Someone just places their spare change in the charity collection cup at the grocery store
• A small group of friends are sitting around a table sharing funny stories and cheerfully reminiscing about the good old days
• Someone out there is missing you and looking forward to your next visit

Believe me now?

I love editing photos. It’s really becoming an addiction.

That’s all.
