This morning I received a blessing in a blog post. It came from my Fabulously 40 and Facebook friend, Tori Fisher. She reminded me of how important it is for us not to be so quick to pass judgement on others and to be thankful for what we have.
Seeing this post this morning reaffirms how important social media has become in my life---where someone I've never met who lives hundreds of miles away can touch my life in a special, positive way.
Here's a portion of her blog post:
The very next time you get upset because someone cut you off in traffic; consider that they might be rushing to get to a loved one who needs them…
The very next time a clerk is rude to you at a grocery store, consider that they just received their paycheck and it’s been confirmed that they simply cannot feed their children…
The very next time you say something hurtful, mean or just downright ignorant to someone, consider how that might make you feel if someone said it to you or your mother…
THANKS TORI!

Thanks, Beverly! These words are important reminders that things are not always as they seem. We can waste so much energy being angry or upset without even understanding the cause behind the perceived slight. Life is too short to allow these things to get to us. Your friend is right on!
Yes, wise words to live by!
