Clarification: There is a book by that title, but, no, I have not read it. My thought comes from what am I doing here (on earth - alive, etc.). There's been many people who have impacted the world and left behind influences(some good, some bad): Einstein, Jesus, Gandhi, Mohammed, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks. But, most of us don't have worldwide influence. & we certainly don't change things the big things. As someone once said "We bring nothing into this world and we take nothing out". (anonymous) We can create a garden, but not a flower, we can love someone, but can't make them love us, we bring forth life, but cannot stop death. This is why I say it's not about me. But, then, what is it about? And what can we do to influence our part of the world?

Well, I've had to redo this. I tried to edit, but my original post disappeared! Everytime I go to the page it is blank! Oh well, eventually I'll get it.

I'm trying this out as I used to love to journal, and it sure is much easier to type than write. Except, those physical journals get very familiar and comforting. One thing I like about journaling is I can see where I've been, how I've changed (or not) and patterns that repeat. That has been helpful to me so I can see those things that I want to change.
