People come in and
out of our lives on a daily basis; we walk by complete strangers without ever
knowing their name or what makes them, well them. Now it’s impossible for
everyone to know everyone but maybe we should make an effort to at least smile
at the person passing us. It may be what ends up making their day, and who
knows maybe save their life. I think my life goal is to meet at least one new
person a year, even if I don’t know them for very long. If I make this goal of
one person every year and I live to be 90 I will have met 70 new people, because
I’m 20 right now. Oh I’m sure I will meet more than two people a year, with my
goal of being a teacher, but I mean really get to know the new person I meet. I
want to get to know about their family, what they want to do in the future,
what scares them, and what makes them happy. Life can filled with ups and downs
but I feel even the hardest headed person in the world needs someone to talk
to. If we don’t have people to talk to in our lives then I think that’s the
saddest thing that can happen to us. We need that contact even if we don’t
think we do. I hope to reach this goal of one new person a year, heck I hope to
pass it and meet several new people. Maybe no one reads this blog, but maybe
someone does. If you do read this then I hope you have at least one person in
your life that you trust completely and my challenge for my readers is to go
beyond yourself and talk to a stranger and get to know them. Make their day,
and who knows maybe you will be the stranger that someone else talks to. Well Have
a good night and I hope your thanksgiving holidays are well.
