This is worth the read!!!! It really is all about how we respond in the moment. The little things of everyday life....lets strive to have a good response! I am My Response I am my response to my child’s mismatched outfit and the crumpled report card at the bottom of her backpack. I am my response to my spouse who returned from the store without toilet paper but remembered the tailgate snacks. I am my response to my anxious parent who repeats the same worries and insists on giving me coupons I do not need. I am my response to my colleague with sad eyes and frequent absences. I am my response to my 15-minutes-late hairdresser with a sick child. I am my response to my neighbor with heart-heavy problems and little family support. I am my response to the irate driver who cut me off and made an obscene gesture in front of my children. I am my response to the waitress who got my order wrong. I am my response to myself when I forgot the one thing I most needed to do today. I am my response to spilled coffee, long lines, and middle-of-the-night wake ups. My responses are not perfect … they are not always ideal … I am human after all. But if I strive to offer responses underlined with grace, understanding, kindness, empathy, and care, That is something. That is something. Because my responses are more than just words. They represent who I am, who I want to be, and how I will someday be remembered. Today I will not respond perfectly. I know. But if I strive to communicate with hints of kindness and traces of love, That will be something That will be something That could mean more than words.
