Appreciation and Giving

Good morning! Here's a wonderful quote by Helen Keller. The joy we feel when we unconditionally help another is one of the greatest feelings and accomplishments we can experience. A simple smile or gesture, a helping hand or the strength of a shoulder - these simple acts go a very long way in creating happiness in our own lives.


"Anyone who, out of the goodness of his heart, speaks a helpful word, gives a cheering smile, or smooths over a rough place in another's path knows the hidden delight he feels is so intimate a part of himself that he lives by it. The joy of surmounting obstacles which once seemed unremovable, and pushing the frontier of accomplishment further - what joy is there like unto it? If those who seek happiness would only stop one little minute and think, they would see that the delights they really experience are as countless as the grasses at their feet or the dewdrops sparkling upon the morning flowers."  Helen Keller


Create a wonderful life!

    I work in a high school with some very special student volunteers who, due to their interactions with their peers who have special needs, are maturing and growing as citizens. This group restores confidence in our young people of today.

      Thank you for your comment, Karen. Given the right tools and role models, these volunteers will develope into creative, self-directed adults. I look forward to seeing your site! Who knows, there are probably volunteers in there who also have tremendous stories to share.

      In a short period of time, this blog will be completely moved over to a stand alone website, offering tons of tools and lessons for anyone interested in creating wonders in their life! Keep an eye open for the switch over!
