After reading “The Art of Possibilities” Chapters 4-6 this week.
Upon reflection, I found myself mirroring young Ben at the dinner table. Wondering what I would contribute to the family conversation. Being the youngest is not easy. My Mother would ask each day girls how was your day at school? What did you learn? At first, I was really excited about telling what I did and learned that day in school. However, my older sister always beat me to the punch and it seemed as if she would go on about everything never leaving me with anything to say. I felt that I had nothing to contribute to the dinner conversation. It would make me very frustrated when this happened. This went on over several weeks until I discovered one day that it did not matter what she said. Using my quick-witted humor and imagination, I could be apart of this conversation. That was probably my first Uh! Ah! moment!
Simply amazing! The art of making someone smile, bridges any awkwardness between individuals. it is an art because so many of us aren't blessed with that ability. I guess that's what make each of us all uniquely wonderful. Our positive contributions to society dictate the possibility of hope.
Great Post!
