Our life impression

"We will be known forever by the tracks we leave," Unknown, Dakota.

How true. A friend once told me when I said that I was not attending a workshop, "but your energy will be missed." Our energy, the essence of who we are, is either a blessing for ourselves and others, or a diminishment. I don't think there is much of a neutral stance. We can choose whether we are a blessing unto the world and ourselves, or a diminishment. We can also choose whether to reflect back to someone the blessing they are or to reflect back some negative characteristic. This is something to remember in caregiving. We can reflect back to the care receiver the loving energy that lies at the interior of each of us; despite what their behavior might be. And that will make a difference.
