Day 24

Friendship. It finds us in the most unlikely places. A kind word in a doctor's office. A smile across the grocery carts lanes. An unknown driver who waves as he passes by. We all need human connections. To quote John Donne, "No man is an island". Innately, we crave companionship, acknowledgement and compassion. We seek to be understood and reach out to be touched. Today, as strangers extended courtesy, I thought about how important it is we reciprocate and pay forward their kindness. Imagine, if instead of a scowl, we greeted with a smile, how much happier a place this world would be.
