I just saw a saying that I like: “Spend time with those who make your spirit shine.”
(Unknown)
That sounds like wisdom to me.
I believe the use of such time is really an investment rather than an expenditure, and that if one also invests the time to become a person who makes the spirits of others shine, they would be improving themselves, and most likely make themselves happier while making the lives of others better, which makes the world better.
People are attracted to spirit-shiners, and are sometimes inspired by them to become spirit-shiners themselves!
And, even when a spirit-shiner is alone, they are in good company!
I’m blessed to have many spirit-shiners in my life, including many of you. Thank you! Shine on, my friends! My life and the world are better with you in them.
Love,
Russ
Your spirit shines through your every post!
Thank you, Mimi. As does yours!

(smiling) I like that term Spirit Shiner. You are a spirit shiner, you know that right?
Thank you, Diana. I hope I am, and like to think that I have become one, but I know that it wasn’t always so, and sometimes still isn’t.
Thank you for consistently shining on my spirit, Diana.

Sometimes others shine as a reflection of the person facing them…. Diane
I like that visual a lot, Diane. Thank you or sharing it!
