Anyone who has had the privilege of seeing the Fred Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” will know the significance behind the numbers 143.

I was fortunate enough to receive this DVD as a gift for Christmas and have watched it several times in the past week.  The first time I viewed it I was moved to tears.  I didn’t realize I’d be bawling each time I saw it.  But I was.

If you have not seen this documentary, see it.  It may be the best thing you’ve done for yourself in a long time.

The basics of the documentary is a very simple philosophy:  A little kindness makes a world of difference.

I won’t give away the secret behind the numbers 143.  All I will tell you is that it has a very special meaning.  One that we all need to be reminded of every day.
