Be kind. It's one of the few choices we can control. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Life moves fast. People get overwhelmed. We all have days when we're stretched thin and doing our best just to keep it together. And even though most of what happens around us is out of our hands, the way we treat others is something we do get to choose. Kindness doesn't have to be life-changing. Sometimes it's a small moment of understanding. A little patience. A gesture that lets someone know they're appreciated. Everyone is carrying something. Some people talk about it, others try to hide it, but it's always there. And kindness may not fix everything, but it does make our days feel a bit more possible. And that's a good place to start.
