"Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.” Albert Einstein
This quote speaks to me in so many ways! Mostly tells me to show appreciation for who has helped mold me! Mostly there are my parents, my mom! They guided me in the right directions, I swayed off path many times but eventually got on the right path!! My mom showed me how to be a mom, and taught me what true unconditional love is! Pat, has always made me laugh and has showed me what it means to be a provider and a best friend! My friends, especially my ones here in South Africa, have showed me what TRUE friendship is! They have helped me come out of my bubble and enjoy a brand new world, and LOVE it! My parents, Pat and my friends have given me the opportunity to be myself, and love me anyways(or most days!) Thanks to all of you for molding me on the inside and out! Without you, I would be lost! I hope that I am able to give back as well, if only through my children I am able to use my knowledge!
