Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle....Plato

My blogging is sporadic and I seldom post twice a day but I came across this quote...one I knew for a long time...but truly did not fully understand until now...oh, if only more people could read this and think about that simple statement before saying things that are hurtful to others...
thankfully, people have mostly said "the right things lately" but now and then someone will say something that feels like a knife pulling through my flesh...yes....battles...we all have them...right now mine seems unsurmountable...but I do see that I am making my way back up the hill...
