It *can* be so hard to remember--we do try, but I know in my own case (and I'm sure it's true for others too), sometimes I'm less patient or empathetic than I should be... sometimes it almost seems like chance or a blessing that empathy should happen at all... but worth working on

Life is so dynamic, it's always changing; we're never allowed to *stop*--no laurel resting! But on the other hand, we're never trapped forever with our bad situations or our bad ways, either. We're always able to change and adjust and try again and try new.
