ME ME ME

ME ME ME!  Are you (as if we would admit it) or someone know (pointing someone ELSE out is easier isn’t it?) Like that, a "It's all about me!" person. 


Are the attitudes that people have “today” (last few years) a bit different than that of several years ago?  Instead of sacrifice, sharing and caring people are looking at ways to make themselves feel better, put themselves ahead no matter the cost.

I see this in movies, TV shows, books, magazines, advertising, on social media and sometimes within the circle of my family and friends.  And even at times, within myself.


I encourage often, for us all to stop and realize and experience the many blessings and good fortunes that we have in our lives.  There is SO much to be thankful for.  If you don’t think your rich, why don’t you stop and add up all the things you have that money can’t buy!


Relationships are rare gifts and they come in many sizes, types and lengths.  With ourselves, our family, a companion, friends, co-workers, and perhaps the Sacred.  It is often during the last couple months of the year that we really think about all of those relationships.  During the year do we REALLY spend much time on them…  COME ON.. REAL QUALITY TIME?  Or is it only when we are deep in crisis or need help that we reach out to that relationship?


Maybe that is one reason why relationships happen for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  When we focus too much on me, me, me and not putting others first we allow distance, time, and long bridges to form. 

I urge you to stop what you are doing.  Write down the names of 5-10 people whom you NEED to reach out to, maybe to say hello, I am sorry, I forgive you, I love you, I miss you… no matter the reason, writ them down. 

Within the next 3 days take time to look up as many as you can, reach out on the phone, in person, via a letter (email as a last resort.)

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One ME at a time.
