    For those that can’t see the photo:

    “No matter how happy someone may seem, they have moments when they question if they can go on. No matter how confident someone may look, there are moments when they feel unsure and insecure. And no matter how strong someone may appear, they have days when they feel like they’re falling apart. Never think for a moment that you are alone with your struggles. You are not a mess. You are human.”  -Lori Deschene

    Thanks, David. I try to keep that in mind when other people act in a way that is not socially acceptable or they appear to be "down". We all carry a cross.
