Today, be mindful of what you don't know.  It is a time in the world where many are experiencing circumstances for which they were never prepared.  So many are overwhelmed and discouraged, but somehow manage to continue to walk around upright.  Maybe they are making mistakes at work.  Maybe they accidentally cut you off in traffic.  Maybe they were short on the phone or didn't reply promptly to your email.

Maybe they are distracted wondering how they can keep a roof over their heads and take care of their children.  Maybe they are doing the very best they can to keep going.

Kindness is never wasted.  Compassion and patience are great gifts, particularly when offered to those who may not seem to deserve them by their actions or attitude.  Love the cranky as much as the cheerful.  They may need it more than you could know.

Many thanks,

WS
