Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring...

Tonight is not such a fantastic night. It started ok, but the bubble has burst. SO time for my first real blog. I can't find the story anymore otherwise I would post it but there was a short little blurb on one of the websites i visit that touched my heart. It was about this balloon vender this lady had passed by. There was an older man, obviously that was mentally disabled, that wanted free balloon, but the man had run out of them. He started crying and was very very hurt that he couldn't have one. Then this little girl around 5 came over and said " It's ok mister you can have mine". How amazing is that? This little girl was so generous, and so thoughtful to this poor man. Applause to her parents for teaching her such compassion. I feel like that is what is missing in life way too much. Remembering that everyone has there problems, fears and insecurities just like you and even if you don't understand them or think they are stupid, having compassion for somebody else can change everything. That may have made that whole man's day, and even if it didn't mean much to the little girl or to the man, it touched me a lot. Reminded me how little actions can have such big impact. Lately it is really easy for me to climb into myself and my problems and hurts, but stepping outside of yourself might be the best way to overcome anything. So that is what my Inspiration is tonight. I want to share this story to remind everyone to have some compassion for people, remember that they have feelings and problems just like you. No matter if they are trivial or complicated and heavy, they can be just as hard and damaging.

"The major block to compassion is the judgment in our minds. Judgment is the mind's primary tool of separation." - Diane Berke
