My niece just recently moved to the other side of the USA this week. I am going to miss her terribly. Especially since she was finally starting to get to know me better, and we could play with each other more. I have been learning a lot recently regarding how, even the smallest things we do or feel will affect others in this world. Working with kids are teaching me some of these basic principles. I also realize that one person can make an impact on this world more than we realize. A quote that I have liked and have been thinking about recently is:"The effects of your words and acts is tremendous in this world. Every moment of life you are changing to a degree the life of the whole world. Every man has an atmosphere or a radiation that is affecting every person in the world. You cannot escape it. Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil. It is simply the constant radiation of what a man really is. Every man by his merit living is radiating a state of radiation. To exist is to be the radiations of our feelings, natures, doubts, schemes, or to be the recipient of those things from somebody else. You cannot escape it. Man cannot escape for one moment the radiation of his character. You will select the qualities that you will permit to be radiated."
