The world will harden your heart if you let it………so, let your heart remain soft. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like it when the world grabs my heart and tries to harden it against the needs of my fellow man.

My favorite place to sit has always been on a bench. If I see one, I want to sit there and see the view and watch the world go by.
