Thought for today

Compassion

"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 the strong.
Because sometime in your life you will have been all of these."
~ George Washington Carver

Thank you for posting this thought on "compassion." I need to have more compassion for Mom, who often drives me batty with the old-age combo of mental fogginess and demandingness. AS GWC reminds me, I'll be there myself soon enough.
