Building Bridges


 One of my favorite sayings is
 "I'm out to build bridges"
I first read it in Ann Kiemel's book
called "I'm celebrating"
A bridge establishes a connection, the ability to extend oneself from one zone and reach out to another. This takes courage, effort, a willingness to risk, to share, to relate. A bridge also takes us above canyons, rivers of difficulty, rifts, onto the other side. It ends our loneliness as we connect to others,  it takes us beyond our circumstances and opens our eyes to the world around us giving us great opportunities to empathize.
People who have this friendly attitude towards others, who are willing to build relationships, who are good listeners with a caring attitude, sharing, smiling, inviting others to join in, bring warmth and light to our lives and to those around. Never give up building bridges!
