Long Time

I know it's been too long since my last post. I fell out of the habit. I work into the mornings most of the week, and while I am, there is a commercial that I see. It says that it's a true story too. It shows a small boy at a concert. It's shown below, but I want to say, before you watch it, that I love this commercial.

The small boy ends up in an awkward place, socially correct that is. His parents are thinking about the embarrassment that they might face, not really about their son. It all turns out great in the end. I bet you have seen this commercial a few times before. It's just a good thing to look at it again.

It's interesting how so many of our daily actions are frowned upon, but in actuality they could become great additions to the world. Look at the man that is shown for instance. At first, he is wondering what the heck this little boy is doing on stage. He came to see a concert pianist, not a recital practice.

I love the way the pianist sees things as they can become. He saw a potential social scar in someones life, and turned it around to be one of the best memories that this boy would ever have. Who knows what impact this small moment could have on a life. I know that our lives are composed of many small choices and moments, and these small and simple things are what make us who we are. There are big occasions that can totally change our outlook on life for the good or bad. What do we do to impact others lives? How do we act toward others that can change them in many ways?
