Radiate

Sun.
Sunshine.

I was driving today and thinking about what a difference there is in those two words to me though they are used interchangeably at times.

One is bright and hot.
The other is bright, warm, radiating, encompassing, (and sometimes wears a smiley face).

The difference is all in the giving off...one IS and one RADIATES.
One sits in the sky. One changes the way life feels - the way people think and act.

That's really how it is for all of us.

The real difference between one person and the next...the one that matters most - it's not so much in the name, in the looks, in the face, in the voice. It's in what all of those things give off.

It's about more than our being - it's how our being radiates to those around us.

I personally prefer the people and the words that radiate big.

It's not enough just to be. You have to connect to make a difference.

Or just not in the mood. Or it's raining. Or I've got other things on my mind. In other words I'm full of excuses. I have spent more time reasoning myself out of taking that picture than it would have taken to just pull over and snap it. What changed today? The Details in the Fabric. It was recommended that I listen to this Jason Mraz song and pay attention to the lyrics. So, I did...and in listening I decided to stop paralyzing myself. To stop driving by just because I'm preoccupied or feeling lost. "Calm Down. Deep Breaths. And get yourself dressed. Instead of running around and pulling all of your threads. And breaking yourself up." And that's what I need to do. The way I&#
