This week weave your tale around your response to the word: ‘blessing’.
~*~
My grandfather once told me the secret to a good life
Be a blessing in someone’s life, not a curse
Be the one who brings smiles to a face, not tears in the eyes
Be the hand that lifts not the one that pushes down
Utter the words that encourage and empower others
Never be the naysayer or the voice of doom
His words were his golden rules he lived by, all his life
Now long after he’s gone, I try to honor him
By modulating my life according to his advice

My paternal grandfather died not long after I was born but my maternal grandfather lived nearby. He was such a sweet man. Grandfathers are so awesome. Yours sounds like a lovely man.

He indeed was. Both my grandmothers were scary, and hard to please. But my paternal grandfather was a very nice and friendly person
