Drop by drop...

Please enjoy this little "gem" from a good friend, Ruthann Blosser Longcor...a good thinker and writer.

"Love the saying 'Drop by drop a river forms.'  I read it in a book last week...and it's been going over and over in my mind.  After googling it, there is another version... 'Drop by drop, a mighty river forms.'  Rivers are powerful, yet each begins by simple drops of water joining together.

Makes me think of families, the climate in a home/workplace, and the power of little actions that add up to traditions, that eventually add up to legacies. Creating a loving, positive, inspiring atmosphere in our homes/classes/businesses...often starts with the most basic, intentional action...a smile, a hug, offering a favor. Consistent thoughts and actions, lead to trends...which can become a force. Wow.

So much potential just in an ordinary day..."

Words change lives.  Perhaps you can use these, to change yours.  Thanks for sharing your powerful insight with us Ruthann.

Ruthann this was such a wonderful "burst" of thought. The part I like the most, was the way it ended..."So much potential, just in an ordinary day..." Can't begin to describe the transformative power in that simple phrase. Thanks much. I had to share it.
