I Thirst Thursday

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. ~William Penn

I always wish I had a lot of money. For the obvious reasons that everyone wants a lot of money...but, also, I have always wanted to just be able to buy people gifts whenever I want to. I would love to buy my mother a bouquet of flowers and have them delivered to her today. I wish I could send my mother in law a new audio book (she is blind) but they are so expensive. I think it would be so fun to shower people with gifts. But, there is no extra money for these things. So, instead, today I will do what I can to make sure that these people feel my kindness. A card is all I have but even something as small as a card can brighten a person's day. Imagine on your lowest days getting a card in the mail for no reason. That would really cheer you up.

Do what you can today. If you can afford the flowers, then buy them, if not, then send the heartfelt card...remember you will not pass this way again.
