Greetings & blessings,
Hello! It’s Poetry/Prose Friday & we’ve got a lovely bit of prose about, unknowingly, we might be the force that energises and lights up the lives of many people around us. Who’s on your list?

Whose list are you on?
By Bob Peeks
I had to say goodbye to someone. You know I hate goodbyes, so I struggled with what I needed to say to him. But at the same time I discovered something special about how I feel about people and myself.
The following is taken, in part, from the note I just emailed to him:
‘It’s the thing about caring for people. They get into your life, sometimes briefly, and manage to become a part of who you are. Not all people, but those special individuals who arrive unexpectedly and linger there.
How does it happen?
They are the ones who, the first time you meet them, touch you in such a way that they leave an imprint on your heart. They are the people you look for and hope to meet along the way. They make the journey easier. Some become close friends and share everyday happenings in your life. Others just pass through leaving behind bits and pieces of who they are.
Then there are those who are always there, but off in the distance somewhere within reach whenever you need them. You may only see them once in awhile, but when you do you are made better, lifted up, energized by the time you shared with them.’
After reading this I thought about the many people in my life who fit into this group. I realized how many people I depend on each day, sometimes just to get through it. I am blessed beyond measure.
It also brought up this question…
‘Am I one of those people?’
Wouldn’t it be great if we could become more like the people we personally depend on?
Like the old, ‘If you want a good friend, be one.’ or, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’
Look at the people around you that you love and depend on daily. Make a list of all of the qualities they possess that you admire and value.
Now, take that same list and ask yourself, ‘I am I as good a person?’
Do you reflect those same qualities in the lives of others?
Now, ask yourself, ‘Whose list are you on?’
