About empathy...

Hello Friends,

To be able to put yourself in someone else's place and intuitively know how they feel is the gift and joy in having empathy.  Often we do not truly know the range of emotions the other person feels, yet somehow we find a way to understand.

While others do not expect that very thing of us, they feel a sense of relief we do.  Perhaps it's not the words we say, or as importantly the words we are at loss to say, that matters.   Rather, more important, is the expression we give, and the unconditional care we exhibit that counts most.  Whichever is the case, to have empathy is to be given a gift.  Until next time...
