I heard such a different side of her! Everyone talked about someone who knew what she wanted and how to get it, and yet with such respect for her kindness.<br /><br />Her legacy to me? On her 100th birthday I asked her the secret to her long life, and she said, "Just, love everybody!"

Specifically, I am currently creating a fantasy world of my own to play with on paper and in a Dungeons and Dragons game. But that can change in a heartbeat.

When I think about my parents, my dad's legacy - his magnum opus - was service. Throughout his entire life, he served, helped, and guided others. The bulk of his life he was a social worker and then he became a deacon after he retired. My mother's legacy was her hospitality and making people feel welcome. Consistency, people wrote that about her in sympathy cards after she died. <br /><br />I'm still trying to figure out what my magnum opus - my legacy - is. You've given me something to reflect upon today.

What will I leave behind? What will I be remembered for? I'd love it to be about leaving a smile and a laugh and bringing sunshine and contributing to the world. I've still got time to build on all of that (fortunately!)<br /><br />Leanne | www.crestingthehill.com.au<br />O for Open Your Eyes<br />Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.com
