A Moment for Reflection

November 2019 – All of us have special people in our lives who have loved us into being. 

Take just 10 seconds to think about all of the people who have helped you become who you are, those who cared about you and wanted what was best for you in life.

Just 10 seconds of silence, right now.

*          *          *          *          *          *          *          *          *           *

Whomever you have been thinking about, how pleased they must be to know the difference they have made in your life. 

-Adapted from an acceptance speech by Mr. Fred Rogers in 1997
