People Make the Difference

Do you ever just step back and think about all the people that mean something to you in your life? It's kind of like counting your blessings. I mean really? I am surrounded by people who lift me up and make a difference in my life. I guess I'm kind of a guarded person. I have few people who are close friends and who I really let in. Sometimes, because of this it can be easy to feel alone or like there isn't really someone there for me. That's not true. The simple hello from a friend, even if I may not know them very well, means so much. A kind word can turn my day around in an instant. It's easy for me to go through out a day caught up in my thoughts but people can make such a difference if we let them in. I mean we're all here struggling through as best we can right? And in the end what's more important in the long run, our day to day tasks or the people we interact with? People are all we have. Why not lift each other up? I know I could be better at that. Keep people close. People make the difference.
