Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the flowers,

Kind deeds are the fruits.

Take care of your garden

And keep out the weeds,

Fill it with sunshine

Kind words and kind deeds.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Mark Twain

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

How people treat other people

is a direct reflection

of how they feel about themselves.

How you treat people is a direct reflection of your character.

Kindness, is like a boomerang, always returns. –

"Grateful"

(from "Beyond the Lights" soundtrack)

There were a lot of tears I had to cry through

A lot of battles left me battered and bruised

And now I was shattered, had my heart ripped in two

I was broken, I was broken,

There were a lot of times I stumbled and crashed

When I was on the edge, down to my last chance

So many times when I was so convinced that

I was over, I was over

But I had to fall yeah

To rise above it all

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

I was sinking, I was drowning in doubt

The weight all of the pain was weighing me down

I pulled it together and I pulled myself out

Learned a lesson, learned a lesson

That there's a lot you gotta go through, hell yes

But that's what got me strong, I got no regrets

And I've got only love, got no bitterness

Count my blessings, count my blessings, yeah

I'm proud of every tear, 'cause they got me here

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

There is nothing I would change

Not even one mistake I made

I got lost, found myself, found my way

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

You know that I'm grateful

You know that I care

No time for the wrong ones

I'll always be there

Grateful

Grateful, grateful, grateful

I’m grateful

Grateful, grateful (oh yeah)

Grateful, yeah

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”

— Albert Schweitzer —

“Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in the world.”

— A. A. Malee —

“Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person.”

— Plato —

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

- Audrey Hepburn -

The third day of kindness....

49/52, Presents, My diary, Seasons 2019

Cefalù is an ancient seaside village and an important tourist center in the metropolitan city of Palermo, Sicily.

It is one of the largest seaside resorts in the entire region; despite its size, it attracts a significant influx of local, national, and international tourists every year, which, in the summer, triple the population, crowding the town's main squares and streets.

It is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and is the gateway to the entire Madonie region and a base for trips to the Aeolian Islands.

The city's cathedral, included in the Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale site, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Cefalù is located on the northern coast of Sicily, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, about 70 km from Palermo, at the foot of a rocky promontory.

The characteristic old town sits at the foot of a large rock formation known as the Rocca, which contains the remains of Paleolithic, Byzantine, and medieval settlements. The modern part of the town extends along the coast seamlessly into the medieval part of the historic center.

--------------------

Cefalù è un antico borgo marinaro e importante centro turistico della città metropolitana di Palermo in Sicilia.

È uno dei maggiori centri balneari di tutta la regione; nonostante le sue dimensioni, ogni anno attrae un rilevante flusso di turisti locali, nazionali ed esteri che, nel periodo estivo, arrivano a triplicare la popolazione, rendendo affollate le principali piazze e le strade più importanti del paese.

Fa parte dei borghi più belli d'Italia ed è la porta d'ingresso per tutto il comprensorio delle Madonie e base di partenza anche per le isole Eolie.

Il duomo della città inserito nel sito Palermo arabo-normanna e le cattedrali di Cefalù e Monreale nel 2015 è stato dichiarato Patrimonio dell'umanità dall'UNESCO.

Cefalù è situata sulla costa settentrionale della Sicilia e si affaccia sul mar Tirreno, a circa 70 km da Palermo, ai piedi di un promontorio roccioso.

Il borgo antico, molto caratteristico, è ai piedi di una grossa formazione rocciosa conosciuta come la rocca su cui vi sono resti di insediamenti paleolitici, bizantini e medievali. La parte moderna della cittadina si sviluppa lungo la costa senza soluzione di continuità con la parte medievale del centro storico.

life is rarely grand-canyon, epic experiences. it’s many small, ordinary moments filled with beauty, kindness, and grace.

Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations

project with a tribute to kindness.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

we live in a strange, complex, heartbreaking time. our edges meet the edges of others. yet we're all doing the best we can with the inner (and outer) resources we have. each day, we can begin anew with kindness, patience, and understanding.

Welcome to December! We can all use a little hope, so this will be the first day of my seven day Practice Kindness project.

Also in recognition of Giving Tuesday....." pick a cause that gets you fired up and give back". For me, it's St. Jude Children's Hospital which treats children with catastrophic illness, mostly cancer, absolutely free of charge!

Beauty blooms where kindness dwells.

Like the morning rose,

a gentle heart opens quietly,

bringing light to all who pause to see.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."

- Ranier Maria Rilke

Aha....this tune is so darn lovely

Fifth in my Practice Kindness series.

My friend, Donna, had a tough week. Yesterday, one of my sons and I drove to her house, sneaked onto her porch and left a big bag of her favorite candy, (Milky Way) by the front door. Signed, From the Christmas Elf. She sent happy texts all over, probably trying to find out who left it. Pretty sure she suspected us.....

#49/52, The camera setting you never use (RAW), 52 in 2020

When daylight wakes us, the black of night disappears, the beautiful colors and shades of the morning can bring a smile to our faces. As birds begin to chirp they search for their daily nourishment for themselves and their baby chicks. Spring is when change comes about and gives us plenty of enjoyment. Gratitude and Kindness happens in all seasons. Enjoy your seasons yearly.

I was going to slide but it really did not seem like a good idea.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

"Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

We don't have enough kindness is this world, so please remember to make someone's day better.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Dalai Lama

Kindness is when your wonderful neighbour makes you two hand woven wraps for Christmas. So soft and so warm.

there’s a lot of noise, anger, and blame in the world. yet there’s also stillness, love, and compassion. life is difficult for everyone. it’s helpful to be kind—kind inward and kind outward. such a simple thing that can have profound impact.

Empathy, whether born of flesh or circuitry, remains a universal currency, to most.

yesterday i noticed the sunset light in repeated puddles on a sidewalk. as i sprawled on the ground to take this shot, a car stopped and someone asked, "are you okay?" i smiled and said, "oh, i'm just fine; i'm taking a photograph." i carry that stranger's kindness with me; kindness as warm as the sun.
