Today I am happy to be writing. I’ve been under the weather lately because my valley fever decided to flare up and create havoc with my body. My stay at the hospital made me think about our society and where it is leading us.
Our society is shifting towards more individualism and a lack of empathy. We only care for ourselves and our own welfare, but don’t care about others. We are becoming self-centered and have the inability to see the whole picture because we only see our picture. This is going to be a problem down the road when disaster strikes. This is what I plan to do.
As a grandmother, I am going to teach my granddaughter Sophia the things that my mother taught me:
Love thy neighbor
Don’t take people or things for granted
Words have power but our actions shape our lives
Collect beautiful moments not things
Here is what Poppy will teach Sophia:
Always be a little kinder than necessary
Fill your soul with adventure
If you don’t like where you are, move you are not a tree
What will you teach your children or grandchildren? When you are out and about try to say “hello” to at least three people. Remember there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
