This video so perfectly describes what I was trying to explain in this post. I can see myself standing in all sorts of places those first few days with the heading "Just found out her husband has leukemia". Obviously, in a hospital it's easy to look at people and imagine something bad just happened, but you have to realize these people leave the hospital, and you see them on the streets, in the store, at church, everywhere! What would your heading say? What do you wish people REALLY knew about you and your struggles? Do you wish they could just SEE the wording and be able to understand you better?
Try and be just a little kinder today, be more understanding of the idea that everyone is going through something. And since we can't see inside peoples hearts look inside your own and find that compassion you want others to have for you.

So much of how we treat others has to do with how WE feel from moment to moment. What a beautiful reminder to step outside ourselves and have true empathy for others no matter what is going on in our world. Thanks.
I love you guys.
Corrine I love this video! I cried during the whole thing. What a beautiful message to remember to look outside of yourself!
