A lonely End!

The final chapter of The Great Gatsby left me feeling alone.  It made me take a moment to look into myself a little and those around me.  Do I embrace those around me and let them know the importance of them in my life?  I like to think I do.  No, I do not want to imagine my funeral and do a head count of those who might come to give me a farewell prayer.  But in life while I'm still here, I want to know that I've touched loved ones, friends, co-workers and even strangers in some positive way.  Small things like holding a door open, giving some extra change to someone or even a simple "Good Morning" to someone passing you by says a lot about a person.  I know it gives me a good feeling inside when I greet a person on the street and they respond with smile.  This good feeling has more value than any material thing.
