Kindness Matters!

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. –

Just a shear luck capture of kindness on the street in sequence of realizing she is cold so he removes the jacket and now she is warm with a layer and he is warm in kindness.

Temperatures drop, winter is here, no matter what the calendar says.....

Sixth and next-to-last day of my kindness project

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

✈ The Forest - National Park and Estates

Sunflowers are meant to brighten our days. They’re yellow, happy looking and anxious to bring a smile to your face. Having a few in your garden is a must but seeing fields full of them by local farmers can make your day a whole lot better. Smiles can become contagious. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind. Gratitude and Kindness grow amongst all the Sunflowers growing everywhere. Why else would so many people want to live in the country admiring all that yellow beauty. Sunny days and Sunflowers bring miles of smiles.

Wish you a great day!

On the night before All Hallows' Eve,

the crows caw and the spiders weave.

The spiders swing from tree to tree,

spinning thier magical silk for you and me.

Sparkling in the full moon light,

glitter dust and passion lust.

They drink their blood and build their nests,

encompassing innocents with thier breasts.

Pull and tug as you might,

this only fills the spiders with delight.

Be careful where you go!

The spiders may be someone you know.....

A wicked tale for Halloween.

I hope you all have a fun and safe week. Thank you for the kind favs and comments Flickr friends. I will return the kindness when I am able.

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.

The third day of kindness....

49/52, Presents, My diary, Seasons 2019

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!

50/52, High Key, 52 weeks in 2020

Blessed are those

who know the art of

presenting their pain

in the shape of kindness

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

Lao Tzu

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

Aesop

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

John Ruskin

Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.

Ron Hall

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

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

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

Happy New Year, everyone!

As you slip into the New Year, splash some color and creativity and joy into places that need it!

Areas in your own HEART that need some beauty.

FAMILY relationships that could use some tender love and kindness and color.

FRIENDS that could use a call or visit and an encouraging word.

Your NEIGHBORHOOD or CITY that is longing for your spark and art.

The WORLD on a global level that needs your ideas, your participation, your joy, your prayers!

So do it...

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 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.

I found these jeweled hair ornaments for a Christmas surprise...

The fourth day of kindness...

#50/52, Christmas, My Diary, Seasons 2019

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.....

Smile on Saturday - Angels on Earth

Just because it's Xmas.

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

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Crisp, colorful and a joy to see such “Perfection In The Morning” nice way to greet the morning is by seeing natures greatness before setting off to the hustle and bustle of a new day. Gratitude and Kindness will get you through the day just keeping in mind the beauty you’ve already witnessed by enjoying the flowers in your garden. Go have a blessed day🙏

"Kindness is like snow--- it beautifies everything it covers." ... Kahlil Gibran

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.

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

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

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.
