Happy Thusday!

Happy Thursday everybody!  I hope you have a truly wonderful day filled with love and kindness and I hope that you help others to have a great day too.

simple

Be kind. (It's really quite simple. The message doesn't have to be complex. We don't have to spend hours thinking about it. Why would anyone not want to be a good kind person? It just doesn't make sense. And so, this very simple message). Be kind.

transplant kindness

I was just reading about a mother sharing some very moving moments with a transplant recipient. The mother had lost her daughter following complications from a congenital brain malformation and the daughter's limbs and organs were donated, with her left hand becoming a transplant for a young woman who lost her hands as a result of sepsis. The donor's mother met the recipient, and it was a heartwarming emotional meeting. Such a great example of kindness!

This is not the source of all kindness

This blog is not the source of all kindness.  Try as I might, I am not the perfect person and I certainly don't have all the answers.  I try though.  We all can do that.  We can all strive to do our best to be kind to everyone.  I want to see a nice high success rate too!

it can be very simple

We don't have to think long and hard.  We don't have to go out of our way or spend a lot of money.  Kindness is a way of life.  It can be very simple, but it is who we are and how we act all the time.  Being kind makes people feel good, including ourselves!

help feed

There are lots of folks out there who go hungry, and nobody should have an empty belly. Consider volunteering to serve at a homeless shelter or other meal program.  Meals-On-Wheels or similar programs are usually in need of help too!

Oh joy!

Perhaps I sound like a little kid on Christmas morning, but there is something magical about seeing another person experiencing joy.  When you know that you helped to bring it about, well that seems to make it even more special.  I love trying to make people happy.  It's probably my favorite thing to do!
