Yes I have come across so many people who bring in light to my life. I make a conscious effort now to look for light even in my darkness and if you look hard there is always a light somewhere in the darkness. Your post was inspiring as always. I will continue to look for light in my deepest of darkness. God bless you.

Every time I grow weary of the rain, I remind myself of the amazingly lush vegetation that I love so much in the summer. So many shades of green. <br /><br />You are right that we often overlook these small encounters that are like little treasures. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-27979542861801952112012-11-21T19:44:27.264-08:002012-11-21T19:44:27.264-08:00Jodi, You gotta love folks like that.

And when my dog Sadie died last summer, the vet and staff stayed long past closing to give me time to say goodbye. Like you said, they all made it seem like it was not an imposition. So kind and generous.

I am going to use this exact word for my 2013 quantum leap for my business. I trust that you do not mind making such a positive impact on my journey to shine :)<br />I am working on winning an award trip to Malaysia in October 2013 :)<br /><br />Many people under-estimate how we can bring light into the darkness for doing some of the most simple things! Sometimes, it is not about using our time is this busy world. It is about HOW we use our time in this busy world. <br /><br />Thanks, Galen, for your insights!<br /><br />Viola Tam Viola Tamhttp://violatam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-25457001089715260342012-11-21T09:47:11.842-08:002012-11-21T09:47:11.842-08:00I am looking forward to having the infusion of lig...I am looking forward to having the infusion of light at the beginning of the new year.

And there were all these stories about the dark, cold winters. Brrr! <br /><br />I love these little 'notices' in life. I think most often they are there - they are just overlooked or we don't trust the messages.

My son had his braces broken and sharp and someone had to come in on emergency during this holiday to fix them so he can have a comfortable Thanksgiving. I felt horrible, but they made me feel so good when we went in like it was no big deal for them. It was such kindness!
