She send me a message that said, “Thank you for a great afternoon, we will remember it for a long time to come.”
I had a small house warming yesterday and it was the perfect day. A beautiful sunny day, almost 30 deg. cel. What made it perfect was being surrounded by great people as we all sat on the veranda, over eating and having a few drinks.
When I received that message above, it reminded me of how some events in our life gets etched into our memory for a long time. These events consist of how we were treated, good or bad.
It took me back to a precious moment with my nephew.
How he described the moment with 3 words. She loved me.
My mom and I were trying to remember a persons name we had met at a party. We asked my 8 year old nephew if he remembered her and her name.
His first remark was she loved me and he walked away. After a belly full of laughter I asked him if he remembered her name and he said no, but she loved me.
The beauty of a childs mind. All he remembered and cared to remember is how she made him feel in the few moments that they shared together.
In our busy lives, when we share those few snapshot moments with people, be it in our personal and professional lives or strangers; do we take the time to leave behind an emotion they can feel good about?
people make decisions in their lives based on emotions. These emotions are based on their past experiences.
Therefore, the most important questions you can ask yourself after every shared moment is;
“What emotions did I leave behind?”

Hey Fred,
This is a great post my friend. We leave an impression on every life we come in contact with and that’s why it is so important to leave a good one. I try do that and for me it has paid wonderful dividends in building relationships. There is nothing like the honesty and uniqueness of a child. We can learn so much from their innocent behavior. “She loves me.” What a wonderful thought to keep in one’s mind about someone so close, yet so far away. I know many people like that and I am blessed to have their love. I’m sure you know just as many in your life. Thanks for being my friend on Twitter and I will read more of your posts later.
Friends 4 Life!
Eddie,
thanks for the great comment. You are right, I do know many people as such. At the same time, I believe we all do Unfortunately not everyone has their hearts open to receiving it or giving it.
Once we do, it is a different world we live in.
Keep touch and inspiring those that cross your path.
