Passing On The Joy


My uncle sent a picture today that speaks the proverbial 1000 words. The joy on grandpa and grandson's face as his first Mississippi River catch is hauled in speaks volumes about relationships. We need to go on "fishing trips" with as many of those around us as possible.

My uncle's goal was to pass on the thrill of success to his grandson. He was willing to expend time and money to see that smile and observe that sense of accomplishment. How much are we willing to expend to help others experience happiness and success?

Today is the first work day of the fall. For many students it is the first day back to school. Let's make a resolution early to pass on the joy to everyone around us.
