Compassion—Some get it early. Some never do. Guest post by @idhmgo

My friend Beth writes one of the most eclectic and entertaining blogs I know. From her sharp-edged quotes to her absolutely awwww-inspiring tales of her kindergarten class, her life becomes free verse, centered.

I asked her to join me as a guest blogger for my themed Vacations and Holidays posts while I’m away this month, and she sent me a wonderful piece on the journey to that most human of emotions—compassion.

Others grow to adulthood, live their whole lives, and even engage in presidential debates without ever making that journey.

I hope you enjoy Beth’s unique perspective on life as much as I do. You can find more at her blog, https://ididnthavemyglasseson.com

    There were days… ha! No, the constructs of children – fascinating and often without names.

I don’t see a re-blog button Beth? It would be nice to re-blog something of yours as we’ve known one another so long. Please let me know if I am missing something here.
