What if we aim to speak (out loud, inside ourselves, and under our breath) in a kind, respectful, and loving way to everyone today - to ourselves, to our dear ones, to clerks and other people providing any sort of service, as well as to anyone who might irritate us, such as someone driving carelessly? The benefits and blessings could be extraordinary. But purely for the joy of giving, may compassion be a gift we give to ourselves and others today. 

Kindly,
Charlene
 

COMPASSION: May you be gentle with yourself and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes.   - from The Twelve Gifts of Birth.
