our builder has finished mending our roof today. Kosovan refugee, before being sent by his parents to search for a new life in Italy, and then, arriving in London. I am proud to say that he was taken in, and within two years of arrival became a British citizen, now his sole nationality. I salute his determination, kindness and resilience

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.

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. –

Comfort isn't always a feeling of relief or consolation...

It can be felt or given in one single touch of kindness.

Be kind, you never know when someone is having a difficult time & needs a kind word, a smile.

...like snow - It beautifies everything it covers.

Sometimes being kind allows others to see the goodness in humanity through you.

Always be kinder than necessary.

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.

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.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.

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 from the bottom of my heart....thanks chris sherry sommer tea whidbychick, special posts ...

Their lives brushed ours like passing wings: soft, invisible, unforgettable. You never saw them in person, but your heart knows what it felt every time you read their comments on your photos. Like butterflies with broken wings, shining in their brevity, they still take flight.

And although your friends are no longer within your reach, they have been etched in the quiet corners of your soul. Every echo of kindness in their written messages, every feeling of being known without ever having met us, remains.

Rest in Peace

PETER (Gives Benny a kiss on the cheek)

BENNY:

What are you doing....?

I have a toothache!

PETER:

I kiss the sore spot so it hurts less.

I also brought 1 chocolate heart because today is a special day and on special days you can eat something sweet. That's good for the teeth. More sweets are bad.

BENNY:

And what kind of special day is it today?

PETER:

International Kindness Day. Today I am extra nice to you Benny!

What do you want to eat?

What do you want to drink?

Shall I rub your paws with olive oil? That makes them soft.

I also want to massage your neck.

Want to have a blanket to keep warm?

Shall I wash your back?

I'm going now...

BENNY:

Peter....Peter....Listen to me. I love you very much and want to thank you for everything you want to do for me. But .... I'd rather be alone

PETER:

(Disappointed)

Oh..oh..oh..ok Benny

I apologize that I did not post this yesterday. I did not know that there was a kindness day, I am obviously, fully in favor of this day and the need to address , affection, warmth, gentleness, concern,

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

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.....

I saw this battered sticker/decal on a car window about a year ago. I thought then it was a sign of and for our times. It seems even more suitable now. Kindness always matters. Yet our desire - and perhaps our ability - to show it, do it, be it, seems very diminished these days.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Dalai Lama

"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.

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.

You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force. Pubilius Syrus

Chapter One – Where Kindness Blooms

🎵 Today's Song

www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7exqZSLhk4&list=RDD7exqZSLhk...

She carried kindness as quietly as sunlight, and left beauty wherever she wandered.

The old conservatory had stood quietly for generations, its glass roof catching the first light of every morning.

Most people hurried past without ever opening its weathered doors.

Pippa never did.

She believed some places deserved to be visited simply because they had waited patiently to be remembered.

As she stepped inside, the air carried the gentle fragrance of roses and fresh earth. Sunlight filtered through the climbing ivy, painting soft patterns across the marble floor. Somewhere nearby, a little robin sang as though it had been expecting her.

She smiled.

Not because anything extraordinary had happened...

but because ordinary moments often held the greatest treasures.

She paused beside the first white rose of the season.

Its petals had only just begun to unfold.

Carefully, she reached out, not to pick it, but simply to admire it.

"Everything beautiful has its own time," she whispered.

The breeze carried a single petal across the room, and for a moment the whole conservatory seemed to breathe with her.

She never imagined that this quiet morning would become the beginning of a journey.

Some stories begin with great adventures.

Others begin with a single flower...

and a kind heart willing to notice it.

"Every journey begins with a single quiet moment... and this is only the beginning."

To be continued... 🌹

This is a trail I often walk and I often reflect on how much we hear the word kindness now... maybe this is the silver lining in the pandemic, maybe the world is working to be a kinder place.

Let’s keep working together to create a universe founded on kindness and compassion.

Let’s keep looking out for one another.

Stay strong out there, my friends.

Together, we must create a future founded on kindness, compassion, and love.

Dec. 16th, I just found out that his name is Howard Matthews, and that everyone around here seems to know him. I just read an article on him from a few years ago that told his story. It confirmed my belief that he is a wonderful man!
