It makes you reflect on life.
We are all here for such a short time.
It makes me think as I go about my day, I need to be more like my puppy, kind and forgiving. Isn't that something we love about our dogs? They just love us unconditionally.
I know it sounds corny, but that cashier who is so slow and won't even look at you, she might have just lost her mother to cancer.
The guy who cut you off in traffic, he might be rushing to get his dog to the emergency animal hospital.
That neighbor who is so sloppy with trash and weeds might be going through a very difficult divorce and is having a hard time just getting through each day.
You can really brighten someone's day by just a smile and a kind word or two.
Take good care of yourselves, and those around you.

That post really hit home with me. I have a short fuse and am quick to get angry or annoyed with someone but I never stop to think about the things you mentioned. It could easily be ture and here I am not even trying to consider they may be having a "bad day" themselves.
