Today, and every day,
I will strive to be kinder to
those I encounter along my travels.
***
I will smile,
say hello,
and
acknowledge their name when possible,
be more patient,
hold a door open,
or make a fun comment to bring a smile.
***
It is important to me
to let people know they are present
in the moment they arrive into my life.
However fleeting it might be.

Goethe is my absolute favorite!
