Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let be free and unashamed.
There is a scene in the movie Everything Must Go that touched me.
While digging through the stuff of his life, Nicholas comes across a high school annual. An old friend had signed it, calling him a “diamond in the rough.” He decided to pay her a visit, which goes somewhat awkwardly. Until she reminds him why she wrote what she did. One day at a party, some unruly students physically bullied her, and he had come to her aid. After all the years apart, living their own lives, she remembered that one moment.
He didn’t.
I do that. Forget that I am a nice person. That I’ve done some good. And that I am loved . . .

you are loved.
Fantastic + needed, like a perfect tiny milagro. Thank you.
Now I have to see that movie, for that moment alone.
We all forget from time to time.
I’m glad you are back blogging again!
That is exactly as I imagine you.
Another example of how we can sometimes see ourselves as less than we are seen by others.
