Today life is rather simple. I am finishing off my week-end and making chili for work tonight. I make chili from time to time for the friends I work with, just to let them know I appreciate all they do. I think at times people lose sight of how important they are in another persons life. I am sure there are people right now that I work with that do not realize the joy I get from just knowing they are there.

It is almost sad to think that people, myself included, get so bogged down in their daily grind that they miss the smile that is given them when they walk into a room. The gentle hand that touches their shoulder when they are down is so often missed. So there are times in life when we have to make a special effort to let the people we care about know that they really do make a difference.
