My First One

TX7-139-988

We all deal with doubt and wondering about self worth at some point on another. I know I do. It’s just a little level of insecurity I have. That’s one of the reasons I communicate often about the importance of validation. We all matter and all make a difference, and it’s nice to hear it or see it in the form of validation. This morning I received a nice little validation letter from the United States Copyright Office. It was a Certificate of Registration for a little piece I wrote called Just a Reminder. Today’s title is the official registration number of the piece. I originally wrote it on October 22, 2009. So far today, I’m gonna indulge a little. I present Just a Reminder.

Just A Reminder

I received a card in the mail the other day from my eye doc, and the title was Just A Reminder. He was reminding me to schedule my annual exam. As I looked at the card, I began to think that sometimes we all need “just a reminder.”

Just a reminder – you are someone’s gift
Just a reminder - there are people that love you so let them
Just a reminder - you matter and make a difference
Just a reminder – you have purpose even though it may not be obvious
Just a reminder - you have a choice on what to do with your energy each day
Just a reminder - people are placed in our lives for a reason
Just a reminder - you can change the world with your words
Just a reminder - you can change someone’s day with just a smile and a hug
Just a reminder - you contribute to the world around you even though you may not be able to see it
Just a reminder - of what things are important in your life like your spirituality, family, friends, etc

If you are reading this, it’s “just a reminder” that I’m thinking of you and am thankful you are in my life.
