gratitude :: november 11

this post - it's a long one, but so meaningful.  i think a lot about the moments where i encounter someone in a bad mood and think, they must be suffering in their life and being cranky with me is how they express it.  i really do.  i know i have been there. feeling overwhelmed and sometimes helpless. but i cry and make it obvious that something is wrong.  if people were considerate of what others might be going through and less judgmental or assuming we would have more patience, more compassion and more understanding.  and maybe, just maybe, it would make a positive impact on that person.  i love this post.  please read to the end.
