I would like to sincerely thank momlifewithchiari for nominating me. Please check out her blog where she graciously and bravely lives with a chronic illness and offers encouragement to others so beautifully. She has been a huge encouragement for me and I appreciate her!
“Whether we’re a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we’re acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
Isn’t this so true……….no matter who we are, where we live, what our age………..we all want to feel as if we matter and that inhabiting this planet makes a positive impact on others’ lives. I think this is even more important for those of us who live with challenges………we feel broken, damaged, less than, unable to live “up” to the world’s artificial standard of useful…………
Mr. Rogers had it ABSOLUTELY right, he knew everyone mattered, no matter who they were……………so today, make sure you let those in your life who are important to you know that they matter and you are glad to be sharing your life’s journey with them! You have no idea how telling someone they are important to you could change a person’s day………month………… or future.
Now go………
Simply Chronically Ill 
You matter to Him! Me and God have faith in you, Wendi!

Each and every one of us matter, we all have a knock on effect to another person and to what happens in the world. It’s an incredible powerful realisation. Great quote(s!) and love the post ♥

I really enjoyed these quotes! I agree- we all matter, we all have different strengths and we should “go into the world and use them!” Hope you have a great weekend! 😉

Oh thank you, but we all of us cast out light and love, My own words are but a few among many whose lights are being spread right now, Including your own.. Never think I am greater, for I am just me.. A normal wife, mother, grandmother who says things as she sees them.. If we all but did that, in truth and love, think of the ripples that would expand out, to make a difference..
So I love it when those of us who have struggled, come from a place to light up others.. And you Wendi are doing just that..
BE Proud of what you are achieving and you too are a Light.. ❤ Never forget that.. SHINE ON.. ❤

Simply amazing! Such encouraging words 😊🙏 Love in TRUTH – I should love you enough to speak to you with the truth and I’d only appreciate that in return. The thing is that too many people are worried about ‘hurting’ or ‘being on someone’s good side’ that we forget that the truth will only help and not destroy – a relationship is based on the truth.

How wonderful of you reply, as you see beauty comes from truth. They say that the truth will set you free. And if we were all mindful of that and our words and were respectful of others treating each other as we would wish to be treated. Indeed the world would spin with more love and peace.
Maybe one day mindfulness will be in the coriculum in school 😁. Maybe one day children will not feel the need to bully. So they grow into adulthoods in love, respecting others.
We all keep adding our light to help bring about that day . 😆
Many thanks to both of you. 💜
Blessings. Sue
