Kindness

I am learning that, with rare exception, everyone is going through “something”. Some are struggling with relationships, some with addictions, some with pride, most with financial woes, many with illnesses, and the list goes on-and-on. Therefore, I do not know why I am surprised when I learn that someone I thought was doing just fine has been in a knockdown, drag-out fight with some life issue.


So, to myself, I say, “Practice kindness”! Be aware that everyone with whom you come into contact could use a word of encouragement - a smile - a genuine display of caring.


And, I would add, myself included.
