Make a Ripple - Make a Difference

Greetings, Ripplemakers

The Period
by
Susan Roberts

What is a (.) period, besides being that little round, dark circle? It is a mark that shows you have come to the end. But is that all that is? By itself it is just a little round ball. But sometimes there is a little squiggle over the top of it showing it is a question? Or there is a straight line that shows it is an exclamation!

Life to me is like that period at the end of a sentence.

Sometimes there are questions in my life that I can not answer for myself. Have I been an influence on another person, be it good or bad? And how has my influence helped or hindered them? Have I lived my life to the fullest or sat back and let it drift away, not seeing or careing? Did I do all I could do or should have done?

I would like to think that I have added excitement and spice to my life and others! I DID help someone face a struggle and end up on top! I AM a good wife, mother and grandmother, and stepmother and friend! I DID go that extra mile!

When I come to the end of my life I want it not to end with a period (.) or question mark (?), I want it to end with an exclamation mark (!)to show that I had some excitement, some heartache and tears, and lots of love!

To others I may only be a period, but to me I AM an exclamation mark in life! I AM LOVED and I have LOVED!! YES I AM AN EXCLAMATION OF LIFE!!!!
