The importance of compassion and loving kindness

I stopped by a coffee shop this morning and picked up a little advertizing sheet that I often read called "Coffee News". In it there was this "quotable quote":

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, and honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

-- Leo Buscaglia

I agree. Let's all look for opportunities today to practice these acts of caring.
