I was in the parking lot today and I watched an elderly man push his wife to the car in her wheel chair. She dropped something and he stopped and walked around searching for the item and then handed it back. Then he helped her out of her chair and into their car.
The tenderness this couple had towards each other made my heart smile. There are two options I figure – to live life guided by fear or to live life guided by love. I could feel the love flowing off this old couple. That was happiness.
In the middle of chaos and uncertainty there are people who react with love and tenderness. I aspire to be one of those people.
I aspire to do three thoughtful things every day. Letting someone in traffic, holding doors, saying hello, please and thank you. Most day I manage. I think it makes me feel better than the other person.
