W^2 or W squared for Wordless Wednesday, September 21, 2022
A couple of weeks ago, I was mowing our lawn on a Wednesday evening after school, when I looked up to discover this young boy and his mom investigating the handprints in our sidewalk. His mother was patient as the young boy placed his hands in each of the handprints and repeated the process.
The first was the handprint made by our daughter who was four almost five years old and the other, our son who was eight years old at the time. Beneath each handprint, my wife had scratched their initials and the date. The year was 2007.
Our kids are grown. Our son is married, our daughter in college, and one day this young boy will be making his way after leaving his mark somewhere along the way.
We all leave a mark, sometimes it’s visible and sometimes it’s not. It’s in the things we do, the way we made people feel, thew tings we say and write, and the contribution we made along the way.
Today is going to be an amazing day. I know it and I can feel it, so I’d better jump up, jump in, and seize the day. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, leaving my mark.
How has your Wednesday been?
Yes, we all make our mark in the world. You’re helping to build bright inquisitive minds. I’m trying to make roads safer for us all.
Yes we all are making a difference. Thank you for your voice in DC and for us all on the roads. We all do a part and if paddle in the same direction, the boat will go. Peace.
A fabulous post all about making memories!
Thank you Margaret. I remember when the kids lifted their marks, they had so much fun. Wet cement is a child’s canvas. Stay well, peace.
