Henry was a happy soul. His smile brought smiles to so many. He was laid back, content, and up for anything. He was happy to stay home and snuggle, wander Target (our go-to spot to get out of the house), play in the pumpkins at Vala's, or "swim" in the Gulf of Mexico. So today I challenge you to carry out a bit of Henry's legacy. Sometime this week, smile at a stranger, hold the door open for someone behind you, make an appointment to donate blood. If you're in the drive through, pay for the coffee the person behind you ordered. Leave a note for a coworker letting them know you appreciate them. Wash the dishes for your wife (or husband) or mow the yard for your husband (or wife.) Give an extra hug or kiss to your child, or to your mom or dad.
Even little things such as these can make a big difference in someone's day. So this week, I challenge you to make a difference...not by spending money or large amounts of time, but simply by doing something simple. Honor those around you, and do it to honor all those who are fighting big battles we don't even know about. As Henry is saying...be someone's hero!
