Hi Reader,

If you happen to be an American, I hope your Memorial Day holiday this past Monday was a reflective time for you. It’s important to remember the men and women who died serving our country in battle so we can enjoy the freedom we have.

Regardless of your citizenship and where you live around the world, I hope you take time to remember the people in your life who have blessed you in some other way. That’s important, too.

I did a podcast episode on this subject a few years ago. You might want to check out episode 28, “A Memorial Day to Remember.” Click here to listen in.

I gave a list of the good people we don’t think about much. Yet these are men and women who made our lives better. People who:

  • Loved you even when you were unlovable
  • Brought out the best in you
  • Were silent when they had every right to chew you out for something you did
  • Let you talk on and on, without ever shifting the spotlight of the conversation onto them
  • Sat in the crowded back seat of the car so you could sit up front
    ​

​Click here to hear the rest of the list in episode 28.

Until next time, I wish you all the joy that you can wish.*
