My ahh-ha moment was after my first granddaughter was born. I realized at age 63, I can't change the whole world. However, I can make a difference in my immediate world, starting with my granddaughter. The simple act of teaching her how to hold a spoon to feed herself or work a bell by showing her how to ring it makes a difference in her life and thus mine.
I cannot change the behavior of anyone except me and that is why I vow to do my best to make the world closest to me a better place to live by what I contribute to it.
