Want to hear something a family counselor once shared with me years ago that I have never forgotten? She said we wouldn't believe the amount of people she counsels who "feel invisible" in their lives. That's sad, isn't it? 

It takes such little effort on our parts to help others feel seen and heard. This week I had passed by a person standing outside of a tax preparation business, dressed in a Statue of Liberty costume and holding a big sign. She wasn't twirling the sign to attract attention to the business, and she looked bored. Really, who knows how she felt standing there as cars blindly passed by ... feisty? sassy? stupid? self-conscious? amused? Or maybe she didn't care one way or the other.
