the joys of kindness

For me there is something especially joyful about not only doing kind thing, but also witnessing them.  I love seeing other people do nice things for each other.  It really makes my day!

Turkey jook

One of my favorite memories of kindness is the time I was given a nice big bowl or turkey jook (some people call it congee or rice porridge) a few days after Thanksgiving.  It was so delicious and I can still remember how good it made me feel.

let us give thanks

I think of Thanksgiving Day as one of the kindest days of the year.  We gather together and give thanks and we also share.  Sharing is such a wonderful part of kindness.

Impossible

The great Muhammad Ali said and did many thing that have inspired me.  Here is an example.  He said "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." 

together

Support each other,
Respect each other, and
Be there for each other.
We are all in this together!

come naturally

This isn't difficult to any degree.  It isn't very hard at all.  Being kind should just come naturally.  It's not something you need to think out or make great plans for.  It just is.

tons of great things

Relaxing and enjoying nature is often a great time to think about all the good things that come your way.  I am so fortunate to have tons of great things in my life - not just now, but tons of great things always.  How wonderful is that?  I think that's what makes me want to share these great things.  Of course every time I share my great things, I get a whole lot more back!
