Kindness

I have been reading about kindness this morning. I will leave you with a few of my favorites:

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” — William Penn

The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness.”- Maya Angelou

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless”- Mother Theresa

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see”- Mark Twain

“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.”- Charlie Chaplin

“Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.”- Henry James

A relatively new friend of mine always wishes everyone a “gentle day” or a “gentle weekend”. Somehow that just seems so appropriate right now. Wishing everyone a day filled with kindness and gentleness- and opportunities to make some else’s day joyous.
