Love them anyway

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

-- Dr. Kent M. Keith

Have to admit that after days of running around in the heat and rain dealing with incompetent, unhelpful people, plus drivers on the road whose sole purpose seems to be to seek speed thrills with the added accompaniment of continuously blasting horns..sigh, this one is decidedly tough to follow. But then, a glass of cold water, a snack and a power nap, and things are looking up already. Seems tough but not impossible. So here's to possibilities of good all around.

Bon weekend.
