The Hunchback Hugger

History cannot nail the guy down. Some say he was from Greece while others insist he was Ethiopian.

Most researchers and biographers believe he lived between 620 and 560 B.C. -- roughly.

He's described rather unfavorably, on the whole. Some called him a dwarf, others a hunchback. #PoorLittleGuy

He was regarded as a storyteller, a philosopher and by most accounts, he most assuredly was a slave whose masterful wit somehow won him his freedom.

Not that it did him much good when he was allegedly tossed off a cliff by some naysayers. #Yikes

​Sure, he's best known for his fables. The Tortoise & The Hare. The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. The Lion and The Mouse. The list goes on.

But I think, of all the big, big things Aesop gave the world, the most important was this little nugget: 

"​No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." 

It's so true that a little encouragement or empathy, a warm, broad smile, or even one well-timed nod...these are the things that can make or break someone's day -- or spirit.

And Aesop may not have said it, but I am: the reverse is also true.#ThinkAboutIt

So, what are you waiting for? Get the heck out there right now and go HUG SOMEBODY. Tight, Capisce? #BeKind #CompassionIsCool #JustLove

Ps 68:10-11, 20-21R. (33a) Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance; you restored the land when it languished; Your flock settled in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy. Blessed day by day be the Lord, who bears our burdens; God, who is our salvation. God is a saving God for us; the LORD, my Lord, controls the passageways of death.  Alleluia  Jn 14:16 R. Alleluia, alleluia. I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always. See Jn 17:17b, 17a R. Alleluia, alleluia. Your word, O Lord, is truth; consecrate us in the truth.
