Everyday I encounter opportunities for gratitude.small opportunities such as a smile exchanged in the grocery store. There are bigger ones as well such as a conversation with a friend about life and love. These moments bless our life’s and guide us forward in our journey. Walking through this world you never know what someone else might be carrying. There are times when I am so low and lost and I encounter a person who simply makes eye contact with me. Acknowledging each other can go a long way toward a deeper connection. Connecting on a deeper level builds empathy and compassion. When we live our lives with empathy and compassion we are acting from a place of true genuine love which encompasses all of our flaws and imperfections as well as our strengths and triumphs. So.as we walk through this world let us truly see one another and acknowledge the humanity that dwells in each of us. Smile, acknowledge, wave, etc. you never know what good you may be doing.
