I heard a pretty profound quote today, and I don't think the guy even realized what he'd said. It really hit home with me, and I even stopped and took the time to write it down.
“We all influence and inspire people in ways that we’ll never know.”
My wife and I were discussing the other day that God gave me cancer for a reason, and one of those reasons may have been to "inspire" others. I have been told by several of my colleagues at my old office how "inspired" they are at my positive mental attitude and always keeping my sense of humor throughout all the treatments. Di has had her work-mates and even folks that she hardly knows come up to her and tell her what an "inspiration" she and I are to them. And even some of you hard-nosed dufes have stated that you are "inspired" by the way that I have held my head up and taken the whole ordeal in-stride "one day at a time".
And whom, you might ask was it that said this?
It was Rush Limbaugh today, just seconds before the end of his show.
