It was a dark, wet November morning. It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again. I thought bears have got it right - what a        idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes!
“Want some words of encouragement?” a co-worker, seeing my mood, kindly          . “You don’t think they would         you up?”
“ Today ? No.” I shook my head.
“I used to think so too,” he said, “      I realized the effect my words had on a certain person. Well, it was someone I knew pretty well. I have to say I         him rather badly.”
“ You?        you are always so positive! How did you do that?”
“I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not        like his name. In fact, it wasn’t only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat         food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that having fun was not worthwhile. And worst of all, when he was sick and needed        , I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work. I was so ashamed         him,” he said. “that I wanted to           him, but couldn’t.”
“But that was         !”
He nodded. “Then one day it all         . I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror in the morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I saw the excess weight. I saw the long hair that needed         . And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world        . Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he            better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person       .”
My        dropped. I looked at him, full of positive energy, in good shape, always ready to ________ others.
“Wow...”
He looked at me. “So how about having a little          conversation with the bathroom mirror? The person in there has the greatest effect on you!”
