Reach Out - Be The Change

---

This old gal…

Got the sweetest message…from her favorite elementary teacher…this teacher…so kind…beautiful smile…infectious laugh…made little me…want to be just like her…reads the Ramblings…she said…and wanted me to know…little student me…was adorable…kind…accepting…warm…

Told that brother of mine about the message…he was in her class…her very first year of teaching…said kind things…also about little him…I remember…he says…when she read Charlotte’s Web to us…there was something about it…the way she sat there…read it aloud…it changed things for me…

It changed things…for me…

It might have been the story…but it was also…so much more…a woman…one kind and caring woman…an excellent teacher…a better person…changed things…for little us…the journey of life…has so much potential…one never knows who’s lives you might touch…just being you…a smile…a laugh…a simple act of kindness…

And who knows…one day…fifty years down the road…someone just might say…you know that friend…that teacher…that boss…that neighbor…

That kind and beautiful soul…he…she…changed things…for me…
​
And that brother of mine…would agree…
