Blog Thoughts: Imprints

Here is the thing... people come and people go, but each soul leaves something behind. Do you remember the woman who made your coffee for you this morning at the café wishing you a good day? Or the gas attendant sitting in the box on this chilly morning offering a smile as you went about watching the numbers climb? Then there are the coworkers you pass by at their workstations, everyone so focused forgetting to acknowledge one another. Guess what? They are leaving imprints. We tend to look at the memories and stories in our lives that were monumental how people changed our paths. But the truth is every person has the ability to do that in each moment. I personally have found myself paying attention more when I am out in the world. The masks are off, you can see people's facial expressions and more importantly the desire for connection. Are you missing the window for something special because you are too busy or rushing about your day? Today, I challenge you to pause. Look around you. Find the imprint that you least expect is making an impact on you.
