I went running with a friend today....a person who I haven't known very long. She started to share with me that she was in a "slump". I didn't really do anything but listen openly and not judge. I assured her that everyone gets in a "slump" from time to time. I listened and acknowledged that she felt sad. I encouraged her to take care of herself. Is this a failure at a kind act? Somehow it feels inadequate.
I learned that this type of behavior should not be thought of as "above and beyond" but it should be given freely to our fellow humans at all times. I learned that beyond giving support to our fellow person we sould be doing more every single day. Today was not good enough.....I will do better...
