Empathy is an emotion I struggle to feel, but lately, I think I've been feeling it a bit more often.

The other day, I saw my mother working in the back yard, and it was 94 degrees out and very humid. I couldn't help but feel if that she might be very thirsty working out in such heat. So, I poured her a glass of ice water and brought it out to her.

I just imagined how hot and thirsty I would feel if I were working out there, of how dry my mouth would feel and how sweaty I would be. I also thought how refreshing it would feel to drink something cold.

I felt proud that I felt this way.

That was a very thoughtful and kind action, Archic528. Something she will remember and smile about for a long time.
