We all possess great gifts enabling us to bring comfort to others. Whether it is just a smile when passing a stranger on the street, a casual wave or holding a hand to reassure or show affection. We can’t forget the things that make us so uniquely human. We are endowed with a great power to ease the suffering of others through the simplest human expressions. Use these wonderful gifts every day!
