Sometimes the best things you can share are also contagious

It might be contagious — that is a phrase that we dread hearing. Once we are told of possible contact with an infectious person, we spend the next several days scrutinizing every sneeze, cough, and ache. Our psyche tells us that we are sure to get it.

What if “it” wasn’t so bad? What if that “it” was something that we were hoping to catch, or better yet, pass it on deliberately? Some things in this world are contagious and we need to be thankful for that.

Let me tell you a little story.
