In order to meet and greet people life requires one to step out from themselves. Out of the house you go! Step into life, and when it greets you back: smile. It’s a good thing. One walks around with history, purpose and pride. Your history is where you have been… as you go forward. Can’t change it, it is there like a shadow or like a mantle. As long as the sun is going to shine on a new day, you have your history and heritage to walk with you. Now, step up to someone and welcome them into your life with a smile, a handshake and a kind word… like salve on a wound it is healing. We all get lonely and at times bitter or dismayed… take charge and change that. Get that mouth a’moving into the “Hi! How are you?” And then…. Listen.

We love to see work well done, completion is a piece of art. A clean car…. Pressed jeans! Hot savory food served up on a plate in front of your chair. The sweet smell of mowed lawn or a neat bedroom! A task done correctly usually indicates that someone took the time to teach a lesson… a professional. One who knows the walk, and talks the talk. Folks who work in a line of business that give them more than a paycheck are professionals. They never gave up their name, but took on the role and the need for their occupation or hobby.

Oh that feeling of accomplishment! It comes when a job is finished: a task that has been prepared and has been filled with your time with your talent. Long time goals take on reality by the actions of step by step movements, daily accomplishments that help one grow.

The folks from Home Depot came as volunteers. Off duty, friendly, professionals who took on a task of taking a mess and making a miracle! Start the mess with the messiest… a tractor load that came a long way from the cows to the highway to our garden patch.
