Last week I went to my former job to help with the transition. While I was organizing papers on top of the desk, I found this hilarious drawing and laughed so loud!
I don’t know who made the drawing, but I’m grateful to the sweet student who thought I was a super librarian and drew me in such great shape. Look at those abs and arms! I love the detail of the English and Spanish dictionary next to the RMSL (Rossana Martinez Super Librarian). This is too funny and I’m going to frame it and hang it in my new office!
Although I’m still laughing at the drawing, it made me think about how there is a little bit of a superhero in all of us. Otherwise, how could we balance our time to be healthy, work, enjoy family and friends, make art and everything else.
This week while commuting to work, the train was full and I saw a man give his seat to an older woman that was cornered in one of the doors. And I thought: superhero! Unlike the cartoons, we can’t save the world in five minutes, but it’s the small, everyday actions that make superheroes.
It’s wonderful and so inspiring to see generous people share and give money to good causes. But for those of us that can’t afford to give money, we can use our creativity to make changes. The common denominator is to follow our hearts, use our intelligence and patience to improve the present and change the future… And remember change takes time.
