Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. Og MandinoRead more at https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/kindness-quotes

Sometimes I can get wrapped up in my own difficulties that I forget that there are those who are going through much harder battles.  Battles like, food, shelter, prescription medicine.

Today while thinking about something else a song that was very popular when I was growing up came to mind.  It was sung by Glen Campbell.  I am going to let the words of the song speak for me.

Let me be a little kinder
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me
Let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others
And a little less of me

Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me
