Yes, Yes, What She Said!!!

I came across this amazing post by Melody Ross a few weeks ago and have been wanting to share it since then.  Ever since I have been hurt (going on three and a half years now), I have been wanting to write something along the lines of what she has written because I've experienced unnecessary rudeness (I mean, is it ever necessary?) on days when I'm just barely holding it all together.  Many times things just aren't what they seem to be on the outside- whether someone is dealing with physical, emotional or spiritual pain, it is often invisible and hidden. I never, ever would have written this so beautifully, and I'm still in the middle of my trial, so the reflection looking back hasn't been able to happen for me.  If I could wear a sign (and I've often wanted to!) it would say, "Please be kind. I'm in pain and I'm doing the best I can. Thank you."  I'm glad I came across this post that says it all so perfectly.  Aren't the pictures in her post so poignant?
