Climbing to the Top

On Monday, as I was walking to school, I saw this woman struggling to climb stairs. She was a full-figured woman, weighing at least 300lbs. She was carrying a massive suitcase and another bag in her other arm. After climbing about 3 stairs, she would stop and take a break. I didn't know her, but I decided to approach her and ask her if she needed help. I took her suitcase and bag, brought them to the top step, making it a lot easier for her to climb. She was out of breath but took the time to thank me. I explained to her that I once knew what it felt like to carry a heavy-load (I wasn't talking about suitcases...) and she smiled. I realized then, just like her, I have to take each day one step at a time.

Physical Abuse


It's funny how food- something we need to survive - can destroy us.
Hmmmph.
Just a thought.
