ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

NOVEMBER 13TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's  TUESDAY

WORLD KINDNESS DAY

World Kindness Day encourages us to be kind to others, helping to create a nicer, kinder and more compassionate world.

Use today as an opportunity to be kind to family, friends, neighbors, and others. You will find kindness rubs off on others, and generates even more kindness.

Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
'Til in Heaven the deed appears
Pass it on.

Henry Burton, Pass It On

As our kind acts and deeds bring greater kindness to the world, the barriers of separation will begin to crumble, bringing a rainbow of understanding and happiness to the people of the world.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. 

Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

NEWS FROM HOME

When I was young, I admired clever people.  

Now that I am old, I admire kind people.  

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Today is very special as it is the scheduled date for the birth of our little sugar - AB.  My thoughts and prayers are with DDIL#5 and our new little grand babe today.  I'll be eagerly awaiting news from DS#5 on the big event.  I know that he will be one relieved dad too when all is over and everyone is ok.  It's been a pretty stressful time for him too.  I know they both appreciate all the kindnesses shown to them through all your prayers and thoughts.

Kindness is an important quality to have. When someone is kind, it means he or she is considerate and nice to others. When you treat other people with kindness, both people feel good!

It’s important to try and always be kind. You don’t need to have a reason for being kind - it’s something you can do simply because it’s the right way to treat others!

Kindness doesn’t have to cost you anything except a quick moment to give a hug, share a laugh, or tell someone how much they’re appreciated. Pass it on!

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, 

a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, 

all of which have the potential to turn a life around.  

Leo Buscaglia

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
