CONTAGIOUS SPIRITS
βSpirit is highly contagious.Β When people are very excited, very happy, or very sad, you can catch it from them as easily as measles or a yawn.Β You can catch it from what they say or from what they do or just from what happens to the air of a room when they enter it without saying or doing anything.β β Frederick Buechner

Did someone pop into your mind?Β Someone who makes a difference in the room.Β What is it about them?Β How they pay attention?Β Questions they ask?Β Efforts to encourage others by saying hello, speaking a name, acknowledging presence?
They volunteer.Β They raise their hand.Β They follow the leader, or they lead when there is no one to lead.

As with most things, itβs a choice.Β Are you bringing the juice?Β Happening to the world?
