MAY WE BE MINDFUL

I Love You

Yesterday, an acquaintance posted this:

Went to Walmart tonight, the checker never spoke to me except tell me how much my check was.

Even when she handed me my check and receipt, she never said thank you not one word. Will make sure I avoid her.

It is hard enough to get through a day at times, to get out of bed, to go to work. But, we need our job, we need to go to work to pay the bills. Some people can plaster a fake smile onto their face and pretend everything is okay. Others cannot. Speaking even one word may break the dam of tears. The only life we know is our own. May we be mindful of others, of their service, of their trials. May we show them compassion.
