Influence.

As I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking about this word. I couldn't tell you why. Really, I couldn't. But I knew I wanted it to be my post for the day...as in...what kind of influence are YOU? Are you a positive influence? Do you uplift? Do you expect the best in the people around you, therefore influencing the kind of person they strive to be? I try. Probably, a lot of days, I'm not that successful, but I try! :) I am thankful for those people in my life that have chosen to be positive, happy influences, giving me expectations to rise to, rather than to fail, fall, or frown. Is there someone who is helping influence YOU in the right ways? Take a minute, and thank them. It can never hurt to say thank you. :)
