Profound

I was reading a friend's blog and contemplating just how profound life is...not just life, but how certain people touch our lives in such profound ways. How they come and go so seemingly effortlessly... How they impact us one day and are gone the next... How we think about them and wonder how they are doing and not make the effort to try to keep in touch... Or we try to keep in touch and they make no effort to reciprocate...

Why is it that people can be like stepping stones? Helping each other through troubled times, assisting in keeping our heads above water...and then disappearing into the river of life never to be seen again...

It just amazes me the number of lives we touch each day. In the store, on the road, at work, walking down the street, at the gym, etc...

I noticed that the more happiness I exude and the more I try to reach out to people and empathize with them, the easier it is to make it through the day.

Maybe we all need to make the extra effort. Imagine what an impact it would have on this world and what a better place it would be...

Think about it...it's extremely profound.
