This month's IWSG question up for discussion is: "As you look back on 2017, with all its successes and failures, if you could backtrack, what would you do differently?"
My answer: The first thought that popped into my mind dealt with the current political nature of the country; however, the followup thoughts were . . . I wish I could go back and be nicer to people, do more kind things for others, make more people smile. Because while I might not be able to change the landscape of the entire country (or world for that matter), I can change the trajectory of one person's day . . . simply by smiling or saying hello or being charitable. We all can. Imagine that. ;)
That's a lovely thought to take forward for the new year. We all need more positivity.
ReplyDeleteMaking others happy when you're with them is the best idea ever.
ReplyDeleteWow. That is a wonderful answer. Now I feel awful that I didn't think along those line. Well, we can those things this month (tis the season for goodness) and continue them next year. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Margo! I'm new to IWSG, but I have met you somewhere along the way. Probably during several years when I participated in the A-Z challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great post. Short and sweet and so true. So here is a smile from me to you. Have a wonderful holiday season and best wishes for 2018.
