It is so easy to judge people and ourselves. I remember a time when I was very illed and just gotten out of the hospital. All I wanted was a day at the spa. One morning when I had a bit of strength.

I brushed my teeth, kind of brushed my hair, took a shower and put on a t-shirt and joggers. It was so nice to get out of the house and outside that hospital room. I had a wonderful time, until I overheard the young ladies giggling about me and saying some really mean things. It hurt me, but then it helped me. I thought to myself, with tears in my eyes. I have done that to people, not realizing what their story could have been. I said to myself, Every has a back story. I better stop judging things I know nothing about. Those young ladies taught me compassion that day.
