A Clean Slate Everyday

By Susan Smith Bennett On May 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment

My Dear Sister,

I want to thank you for the kindness which you showed me recently. Your tender words and compassionate listening watered my heart like an afternoon rain shower does a dry thirsty garden. For this I am grateful.
