Be kind. You never know what someone is going through. Do you remember this enough? I try. It's all I can do.

    That's good.  And it is the root to a successful spiritual life as well.  Thanks.

    I know it's one of these overtired things you see on social media, but it IS true.  Sometimes life is so painful, and yet you do your best to never show it.  At least that is me any way.  Just a tough day.  Tomorrow may be better.

    Thanks for stopping by.  I truly appreciate it.

    I think if I could ever incorporate any skill, it would be the ability to always be serene and gracious to all.  I am so far removed from this ability, it is not funny, but I admire it beyond any other quality.  I truly think this is the quality of saints.

    Actually, I disagree.  You have quite the ability to connect to others.  Well, I sense that much anyway.  I enjoy seeing you out there and hope you stick around.

    Pea, that is true. I know how to bond with people if they open up a little.  But, that is not the same thing as always being kind and magnanimous when others are spitting in your direction and you are tired and hungry and maybe have a headache, and still smiile back at them?   That is something I would love to have control over.

    Nothing wrong with a pragmatic spin, AW.
