Another group we need to
STOP for is our "bus stop friends."
Bus stop friends are those that pass in and out of our lives daily. People we might stand next to while waiting for the traffic light to change so that we may cross. The person pumping gas next to us. One of the groundskeepers at the local business we visit - maybe he' sweating out there in the 100 degree heat and doesn't even speak English. But just a friendly smile and a nod of appreciation towards the flowers will brighten his face.
Think about it. How many times has your day been brightened by a stranger just momentarily passing through? Mine has. Lots of times.
We may not all have many "great" friends or even family near by. People move, interests change. But we can all have lots of "bus stop friends." Who knows? You and I may be bus stop friends even now.
