Ever been in the blue and some kind words from a friend or even a perfect stranger brightened your day? A sweet word or two from your loved ones has even more power. Ofcourse, the opposite too, perfectly holds good.
Recently, my husband had been on a hike to the half dome in Yosemite National Park. A 17 mile hike along the mist trail, 6 hours each way, peaking to a staggering 8836 ft was definitely not going to be rosy walk. The last stretch of the trail to the top is along the steep dome and is enabled using chains. Arduous on the way up, one cannot help but feel terrified of the downward slide along the chain. When he called me up that day, after the day long hike, exhausted but thrilled, he confessed that he was terribly scared and apprehensive during the first stretch of the way down. Then he said something very sweet - "he thought that he has to make his way down for my sake. Knowing that I will be waiting for him, anxious, to share his experience, was a force enough to overcome his fear". These words made my day and many more to come.
