I feel like the role I've been given on earth is to lift people. Now I don't always do a very good job of it. Like everyone, I have my moody moments, where I'm more focused on how I'm feeling than on anyone else. 😄 But it's something I feel a need to focus on. And I feel like I've achieved something when I get it right!
Today, I woke up tired. My neck and shoulders were stiff and sore from the stress of yesterday's shift, and I was so not looking forward to going to work. Even though I know how very blessed I am to be able to do what I do! My feet were dragging. I got onto the theatre floor, and the girl in charge looked miserable. And the one I was working with, (who does work very hard), was all upset about how little she was appreciated and how much work was left undone by others. So far, the day was not looking good. But then something happened.
I went up to the girl in charge and gave her a hug (I know - it's not the right climate for that right now, but there's no community Covid spread here, so I did it anyway). And I went to the girl I was working with and put my arm around her shoulders and told her we were going to have a good day together. And we did! And as I left, they were cheery! And I felt great!
Now, I didn't write this to brag about how amazing I am at doing wonderful things. What I did was very small. But it made such a difference to the way they felt about their day! And to mine!!! So I guess what I wanted to share was this. You might not be feeling in the best place. But find a little something you can do to make another life brighter, and you might find your own life lifted too!!
