Kindness


Right now we all need a little more kindness and an ability to see the places that can use our simple kindnesses

It’s easy to feel we need to protect our own interests and to fear the stretch outwards will deplete our limited supply

A phone call - a card- a prayer- a distancing visit— a delivery

And just not judging one another is an underestimated gift to others
Listening is of value like never before
And educating one’s self is a must- trying not to speak too quickly about our opinions and distance advice

Share the fun stuff when you can- your easy recipe— perhaps a song old nanny had written long ago

Yes I did that with my grandkids- if they thought they were awful- they hid it very well— I’m sure it took them by surprise- occupying them for at least an afternoon

This is the time to put yourself out and out there
To extend every and any kindness you would like yourself

Don’t do it for this but it does come back to you in the most unexpected ways

  1. I like reading about the kindness people are doing for others during this time. I hope this kindness continues long after this present crisis as the world certainly needs all the kindness it can get.
