A Reminder

Today wasn't a good day. In the morning I had a chance interaction with a stranger who was excessively rude to me for no reason, and though I'm usually able to shrug these things off, it stuck with me, mushroomed a little out of control in my head, and made me cry. It was such a small thing, really, but if you have ever done battle with anxiety and/or depression as I have and still do, you understand how something like that can destroy your emotional equilibrium and  put you into a tailspin. Not long after this unpleasant encounter, I found myself waiting at a traffic signal behind this car that had a message just for me. I was so grateful for this little bumper sticker, I took a picture of it.

Never forget that little things you say and do, good things or bad, can have a huge impact on the recipient. Thank you, Lexus driver, for this uplifting message. It helped a lot in that moment.
