Hospital gowns

Those gowns they give you in the hospital and certainly not all that good looking.  I'm a patient right now and if you come to visit, be kind.  (ALWAYS be kind of course, but especially if you see me or any patient in this outfit.  Oh my)!  Of course the good thing around here is so many caring people.

Kind relatives

Yesterday I mentioned my mom.  I know I received so much kindness from her.  The same is true of her mother, my Nana.  What a very kind lady she was.  My sister is also very kind.  I suppose it runs in the family!

Remembering Mom

Yesterday was the sixth anniversary of my mother's passing, and while there is always sadness that she is no longer here, the day is easier when folks take time to reach out.  There were posts on social media, messages, and emails to me, and the words were both touching and comforting.  This of course is another example of kindness and I am most grateful.

Being hated

Yesterday I said no hate.  I always say that, but yesterday I said it here.  Hate stings.  On Friday and then again on Saturday, some hateful things were said to me.  Think.  How would you like someone saying vile, nasty, hateful things to you?  Being hated just for who you are is a horrible thing.  We can change that.  We each have the power to put an end to hate.

No Hate

How sad to wake up on so many days with news of more hate crimes somewhere in the world.  While encouraging kindness, I have to say how important it is for all of us to take a stand against hate.  Such a waste to be so destructive.  Say no to hate and say yes to love and mutual respect.

Another Saturday

Saturday is the favorite day of the week for many people.  Why?  It's just another day, right?  We can make every day special just by staying happy and being kind.  Happy Saturday everyone and carry that with you into tomorrow too!

Equality for all

Seeking to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters, the Equal Rights Amendment was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for ALL Americans. It was first introduced in Congress way back in 1921 and finally passed in Congress on this date in 1972 and was then sent to the states for ratification, but fell short by three states. Let's bring it back.  Let's try gain.  Equality for all isn't just kind, it is right.
