Sometimes being kinder is not saying or doing anything at all, but rather just being. When a friend is going through a hard time and calls to talk, sometimes they don't need anything but to vent and feel like someone is listening with care. You may feel the need to jump in and offer advice, opinions, or solutions. You may feel the need to fix everything for them. You may feel the need to disagree with their perception of their hard time. You may feel they are justified. You may feel they are worrying over something meaningless. However, what they may need from you is nothing more than your ear or shoulder. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is nothing at all. The trick is to recognize those sometimes for what they are.
Today is Skype with Gramma day.
BE KINDER.
