Day 142b: Sweetness in the Solitude … (September 18, 2019)
I soon stop by a local Dollar General store on the far outskirts of Rogersville, where manager Jami kindly offers me some cold water and a fresh tube of sunscreen …
“When you find yourself in need of spiritual nourishment, it is in the opportunities to serve others that you will find the abundance you seek … So let us never allow our lives to be defined by what is ultimately etched upon our tombstones. Choose instead to be defined by what is etched into the lives and the hearts of all those you’ve touched along the way … How would your actions be different if you pretended – even just for a day – that those around you were fully deaf to your words; that the only thing anyone could ever know about you could only come from watching how you treated other nearby? Let today be such a day.” ~ inspired by Steve Maraboli
