Smiles and tears...

It was one of those days.  We all have them.  Well-intended words pierced my heart much deeper than others realized when speaking to me.  Repeatedly.  I began thinking.  How many times have I spoken to others without carefully weighing my own words?  Sometimes...many times...smiles may be seen but tears are hidden behind them.  May we speak and treat each other with gentleness and compassion...all the time.<3~thl
