Last night Vins and I watched part of a story about Lynyrd Skynyrd on CMT. Afterwards we were talking and I said Ronnie Van Zant will be immortal in a way because long after we are gone people will still be listening to his music and his memory will live on. Then we talked about what a regular person can do to influence the lives of people after they are gone. Vins talked about working with kids in Cub Scouts. We can be a positive influence to the boys we are teaching to be resourceful, honest, trustworthy people and we may even have an impact on what type of adult they become. We talked about how just being nice to someone today could change the rest of their day in a positive way and possibly the rest of their lives. Being aware of how we treat people and the impact we have on their lives, even if we don't know them, can be very important.
So, here are my questions for the week. You can post your answer to the questions in the comments link below.
Question #1 - What will /did you do today to make a positive impact in someone's life ? It could be as simple as saying thank you to a cashier.
Question #2 - Whose memory will be around the longest (considering the earth doesn't blow up in the next 20 years)?

This is a very thoughtful question. I make an effort each day to be kind to people I see in stores and just out and about. I think it's important because life's too short to be short and unpleasant with folks. I do get aggravated when I'm nice to someone and they blow me off, though.
