Tomorrow smile at someone That you've never seen before. Take time to think of others that You feel compassion for. Tomorrow tell somebody That they brighten up your day. Let random acts of kindness Put your feelings on display. Tomorrow hug your children Somewhat tighter than before. Be sure to think of all the things You can be thankful for. Pat your dog a little longer. Hug and kiss your husband/wife. Thank your God for granting you Another day of life. |

Yes it is those kind of things we all take for granted until we suddenly realize, they could all be gone within the next breath. Good writing as always. |

As I've been saying throughout this tragedy, the world has had a wake up call. It's time to appreciate and value the good we STILL have in our lives... Beautiful 'Deer Isis *The greatest warrior is one that does not need to fight* ~Isis~ |

Michael---At 11AM on Tuesday I gave a friend a ride to work and on the way home I said Hello to every driver or pedestrian I saw. And I did pet the dog a bit more than usual. I even told him it was ok, I was just crying because some really bad stuff had happened but that he was safe and we would be ok. Your poem has reached into my own little world and spoken. Thank you. |

serenity...I'm sure he was a great man. You are proof... Nan...thank you, dear lady. Hugs are very accepted right now... Melissa...you are so special! I echo those same thoughts right back at you, good friend  Martie...for one who deals with the beauty and fragility of flowers, I'm sure you understand. Thank you for the smiles Corinne..I thank you. Too bad it takes a tragedy sometimes to remember them  Songbird...right you are. There is no way to know what tomorrow will bring....or even if there will be a tomorrow. We must live each moment....thank you Isis...thank you for your reply and your concerned and touching correspondence regarding this tragedy. You are appreciated...  deVine One...but only words uless we act on them. We must strive for that. I'm going to try my best....thank you for your comment Duncan...and your reply has reached into mine. Talking and crying to your dog is a very special thing. They always show such compassion in their eyes, don't they? Thank you for sharing that.... Gunslinger..exactly as I would expect our thoughts to do. Thank you, friend... Dee....you just did..thanks!  Marge...the world will always be a good place as long as you are in it..many hugs reserved for you vicky...as I am for you! Thank you for being you and allowing me to know you  Trillium...it will....for a while. The trick is to keep it going. Let's try...ok? faterider..right you are! No sense putting it off...that's the perfect answer!  My thanks to you...Charisma...and thank you for everything you are  |
