It is amazing to me how much we all try to cover up. I admit that I try not to let too many people too close to me. I really try to keep my personal life out of everyone's earshot and eyes. I keep a lot of stuff bottled up, which everyone knows is bad but we all do it anyway.
I do not know why we keep so much bottled up, why we refuse to let it out and feel the pain ease. I know why I am reluctant, I am not very trusting. I can name the people I truly trust on less than one hand. I realize that is not a very good thing but, if I am anything, I am honest.
So, what am I trying to say? I am glad you asked. I would venture to guess that I am not the only person that keeps things to myself. I would dare say that everyone keeps things to themselves. I would dare say that we all keep more to ourselves than we should.
Today's word is a quote from Philo, which reads, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
To that, I would add, we never know what others are going through - be kind. I really need to practice this more. I cannot imagine the pain and heartache so many of my friends are enduring. I cannot imagine the heartbreak and trouble so many of my loved ones are suffering. Man, we really need to be kind.
Let's work on this together. I will pray for you and you all pray for me to be more kind to each other. I don't mean that we have to be run over or pushed around but we can take the time to offer some encouragement and, maybe, a kind word.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
