40 in 40 Day #20

Day #20  I am half way through my 40 in 40. As with almost everything in my life I have learned more than I have taught. I imagine by day 40 I will learn even more. I love that about life. As humans we think we will teach or give or share and the person who really gets taught, the person who really receives, the person who really benefits from the sharing, is the person who initiated the process. Very cool, Universe. I like how you do things:)
At this half way point, I am dedicating this day to those of you who are waiting in the wings to share, to teach, to give, to contribute. You are making a difference.
You are making a difference to the classroom waiting for a man filled with passion to share his knowledge of the civil war with them. They will learn about the Civil War (or Math or Shakespeare or Botany, etc) but will they get the spark? Will it come to life for this classroom who is waiting to come to life? You are making a difference to the young woman walking the baby carriage back and forth, day in and day out, waiting for someone to say "Hello" or to invite her to have coffee and to guide her in the ways of parenting or to listen to her frustration. She will release those frustrations (maybe on the baby, maybe by having a few too many glasses of wine) but frustrations get released and loneliness is solved, not always in ways that benefit the lonely, but it is solved. Do you believe you may be saving a life, shaping a life by inviting someone to coffee? I know first hand that you are. You are making a difference when you vote. You are making a difference when you smile. You are making a difference when you call. You are making a difference. You always make a difference. Always. If you lay on your couch, watch soap operas, smoke crack and never leave your apartment you are making a difference.
My question on Day #20 is what type of difference do you want to make? What would you like to learn? What would you like to have someone share with you? What would you like someone to give you? That is the difference you may choose to make or not. You get to decide.
