And The World Goes Round

People make the world go round.  You’ve heard this phrase and it’s been incorporated into prose and song lyrics.  If people make the world go round, friends infuse colors, hues depth and meaning into our part of the world!  That bears repeating and phrased differently.  Things may begin as black and white but how ordinary and uninspiring without friends who care for us, love and invest their energy in monitoring our well-being.
Yes, friendship has been a regular guest on our program.  Why not?  Reiterating important things is akin to rote memorizing.  I’ll bet you remember portions, if not all, of passages, poetry, pledges, prayers – and so on and so forth – that were drummed into you during the formative years.
I’m not auditioning for a musical part in the percussion section of your life.  I’m advocating for revisiting the mortar, glue or other useful adhesive that creates the monolithic effect of the different building blocks of your life.  Without a bonding agent walls would crumble, bricks could be plucked from an otherwise solid wall leaving holes and the potential for permanent damage to the structure of your life.
Be PROUD of what you’ve created.  My friends from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital know the reason for capitalizing the second word in the prior sentence.
Are you PROUD?  Do you Promote Respect, Outreach, Understanding and Dignity by your words and actions?  Examine your utterances but don’t stop there.  Nuances say as much about us as our dialog.  Don’t stop at being comfortable in your skin.  Help others get comfortable in your aura.  Yes aura, the field of energy radiating from your essence.
It’s up to you.  Nobody can “make” you do anything.  That’s not to say doing nothing will have no impact on others.  Think about it.  I’m sure you’ll find a few kernels of knowledge in these words.
Keeping it short and hopefully more sweet than bitter I bid you a wonderful day.

Love and hugs, Nikki DiCaro
