Made me think if any of us say what people mean to us. Not to get too deep but until my father was diagnosed with cancer, I can count on the fingers on one hand the number of times he actually said the words I Love You. And most of those were based on an achievement. This is not meant to be a dad-bashing by any means. He behaved based on his life circumstances. And then when he was diagnosed with cancer he would end every interaction with I love you. We shouldn't wait. So let people know how you love them. You can say I love you or now a days send them a text that lets them know that your thinking about them...and do it just because...not that you want a response in return. And your nice words can be like music to their ears and as Michael Frante sings, Everyone Deserves Music!!!

Create Music...
So the love fortune to be blogged about today is "I Love What You Mean To Others". And the false humility in me says Do I???? I mean I do to some but do I really. Recently because of some interactions I have a snippet into the influence I have had based on peoples responsivity (I don't think that's a word and think it would be responsiveness but I like how responsivity is a bit of a tongue twister, anyway, I digress...) and they have outright said some things that help reinforce that I'm modeling my core values in a way that's appreciated. I know we shouldn't need this, but it's pretty nice to have it.
