Feeling pretty zen today, so entirely unprompted, but hopefully appreciated, I'm offering you all one piece of advice that may help you in your dealings with friends, family, and strangers in crowded lines, returning unwanted gifts. Before you blow a fuse, stop and think.
1. Everyone's lost someone
2. Everyone's loved someone
3. Everyone's afraid of something.
That's it. That's all. Hope it helps. For more advice, see what the Dalai Lama has to say. He's been around and can offer a bit more wisdom.

About Me
- Hummingirl
- Brooklyn, New York, United States
- Things you should know. I like to write, box, nap, read and be read to--mostly fiction, the kind of books that play like movies in your head, whether awake or asleep. I need at least a couple spoonfuls of organic crunchy peanut butter each day to function. Every, every day. And to answer your question(s): half-full, dogs, mornings, summers, and more than one. I write for findingDulcinea. (Header photo: pixonomy Flickr photostream/CC)

This is terrific. Whatever the public persona we project, we are all the same at our core, and you whittled us down to our core.
Thank you! I wish I could remember who told me this. It might have been my guidance counselor from grade school. She was an amazing, irreplaceable woman.
