"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong..." 
                   ~ George Washington Carver

 "...because someday in your life you will have been all of these" the quote continues.

Today, for no ulterior motive, let's simply appreciate all the ages, stages, and seasons of living and be kind to the people in every one of them. 

Whatever we see in others, we have probably experienced something similar in the past, or we might in the future.

So, let's cease judging, choose patience, and live lovingly. 

For peace,
Charlene

PS - Consider watching for the ways you can practice this today. One little example that comes to mind for me is to be patient with how many of the Florida "snow birds" drive. In a few years, I may be driving just like them. Love to all.
