I have a quote from Og Mandino taped to the door at home, a copy of it in my car, and one right at eye level in my office... it reads, "Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of reward. your life will never be the same again."
I always associate that with the words you've put on the photo... how much more forgiving and accepting, and possibly even nurturing, would life be if we ALL remembered that each of us has our own struggle to overcome and our own lessons to learn? Can you just imagine the heights mankind might ascend to?
**I love reading the comments you leave, as they make me feel like we're sitting in my kitchen, having a cup of tea, discussing life and wondering where all the time has gone ...beth
Ain't it the simple truth.
