About 15 years ago, while a regular columnist for the Arizona Republic, Scottsdale section, I wrote about the ‘invisible’ people in our lives; the waiter, the busboy, the trash collector, and others.
Do unto others, there but for the grace of God… sadly a simple platitude for many. A way of life for those who believe we are all responsible for the future of humanity. It sounds lofty. Not meant to be. Just the way I roll. I’m glad I’m on your team.
Amen, Barry! We are all created equal. Treat others as you would want them to treat you. A smile, a greeting, a helping hand....it all comes back to you.
Thanks for sharing Barry. Just being nice seems to be a lost art. Slowing up to let a driver in, or just holding the door open for the person behind you are not practiced or even thought about by most. So said and what a shame, cause you know what, it's a free and easy way to feel good about yourself. Keep spreading the good word Bar. Love you, Petey.
Nice words! We are all part of the One. We live in a society that is always looking at the 'others' rather than seeing us all in a more simbiotic relationship.
Well said Barry. The cleaner at our store is doing his job, just as I am doing mine, so, of course I greet him on my way in, and he always tags us on his way out. Why wouldn't we?

It feels good to do something nice for someone else. The effort is deeply appreciated and it can make your day.
SO reach out. Spread some kindness.
