This past week I've been observing that being together can solve many problems. I know someone who was having a rough day. Without getting into a long conversation and trying to force a better attitude or a better day, we tried to help her get over the hump.
Without her knowing, I kept her close. I came up with an idea for a game. I asked questions about her day and her interests. It didn't take long and the smile returned and all was well.
This strategy won't always work perfectly, but I learned that sometimes a person simply needs someone else to pay attention to them. It is difficult to continue to have a rough day when you know that many people around you care about you and want to be with you.
