This is so awesome. Our children are not honored as the most important thing in our lives -- sometimes I think we even forget. Everyone is important, but our beautiful kids (especially teens) don't get it unless we -- on purpose -- share it with them. Beautiful story. I'll pass it along!

You just made an incredible difference to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Namaste'

Wow that is interesting! Thanks for sharing. It is sweet

Very heart felt there stan, thank you, makes you really think about how our word to one another makes such a huge impact.
Thanks for caring ;)

How "new age" it is! This is a soapy presentation of "positive reinforcement" from psychiatry and sociology. Though positive, rewarding people before they exhibit behavior deserving reward removes initiative to really make a difference. It is better to say to others "you CAN make a difference" than "you make a difference" automatically because then "winning" the blue ribbon becomes a hollow and meaningless achievement. Its a medal for nothing. Handing out medals at random invalidates the behavior of those who really do make a difference. It's the same as telling everyone that they are artists, and awarding them for whatever they create. Art becomes mere therapy and self indulgence rather than the struggle to produce greatness and create work that is culturally uplifting. If everyone gets blue ribbon for doing nothing, how shall we reward those who work hard and are exceptional?

Stan, thank you very much for sending that to me. It really made me think of how such a simple thing can have suge a huge effect. Take care and God bless

If only our President had a half a brain or heart............
