In a world where few people take the time to show care and appreciation, greatness is achieved by acts of generosity. When you are generous with your time, attention, love, and spirit, you stand out, serve your purpose, and define yourself as extraordinary.

Think about this: Who in your life deserves appreciation, recognition or love right now? Go be generous with them. Pick up the phone and call them. Tell them how extraordinary they are and ask if they need anything. Or write them a generous note full of appreciation and praise. Be one of the few inspired souls who live to cheer others on. You can help the world believe in themselves and other people once more.

It just doesn't make any cents.

“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.”
― Jack Canfield

Yesterday was National Nurses Appreciation Day - which kicks off National Nurses Week. Thank you to all the nurses who play a critical role in our communities and our lives. I would fail to mention someone if I recognized ALL the nurses I know (because there are a lot!!) but there certainly isn't a better time to show appreciation to every nurse, in every hospital, nursing home, medical office, lab, school system, administrative role - wherever you are.....THANK YOU!!!
Special shout out to a few of my favorite nurses - MacKenzie Carsey, Molly Pierce, Abby Pierce, Stephanie Pierce, and the others in my family or friends who carry the title of NURSE. ❤️❤️

If you have a best friend that will drop everything for you, be there through thick and thin, love you unconditionally even with all your faults and be the first one there to pick you up when you fall (and give you a much needed dose of reality or swift kick in the butt, if necessary) then copy and post this to your status. She or He will know who they are!!!! 🙂.
