While in Alamogordo, New Mexico did a stranger out of the blue give you a bear? Why was the bear given to you? The answer is simpler than you know. Maybe it was the look in your eye or the way you walked. Maybe it was nothing at all. Something just told me that you needed something kind done for you today. Hopefully it worked and your day was a little brighter. Maybe in return you can show the same kind of compassion when you see another having a bad day.

If you hear a child screaming and having a meltdown in the local Wal-Mart maybe that child isn’t a brat, he just might be Autistic. Encourage a parent having a bad day, give them a reassuring smile or let them know it’s okay and you really cannot hear their child screaming clear across the store. Just show them some compassion and understanding when they need it most.
