Be aware

There are people around us, sometimes among us, that are struggling.  Sometimes, it's just that they are tired... tired of working, trying, living.  They need a break.  They need someone, anyone, to notice.  

If you are like me, many times we get so busy ourselves, that we never notice.  Look around you with a watchful eye.  Be prepared to reach out a hand to help.  Be ready with words of encouragement.  Sometimes all it takes is a random comment about how much you appreciate someone.  Be aware of those people... someday it might be you, and you'll need someone to be aware of your struggles.
