Kindness by definition is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Whereas being kind is doing intentional, voluntary acts of kindness
In a troubled world as we are experiencing at the moment, kindness is even more important in our lives-being kind to others, and receiving kindness as well
"If you can be one thing, be kind" by Clementine Fraser
My teaching motto was kill them with kindness. And it worked. I had teenage boys stopping by my room telling me they loved me. Not love like romantic love, but love like we need to hear you say something good to us (as I said I love you too), like I love that book, type of love. Girls too. A little kindness goes a very long way. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. hugs-Erika

Couldn't agree with you more, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Unfortunately today's world seems to be filled with intolerance of anyone who doesn't agree with someone's opinion on certain topics.
ReplyDeleteI know very sad times we are living in-forced to go along with what they believe with no regard to what someone else may believe
DeleteI love the image you used, Kathy, it says it all!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Erika. Kill em with kindness. It sure shows who is the bigger person, at least. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI agree-thanks
DeleteI just noticed you changed your blog's wallpaper to winter berries and snowflakes. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Elizabeth
DeleteLovely festive changes on your blog background Kathy. I'll echo what Erica has commented here and add "most definitely!" I've just come back from the post office full of lots of ill-tempered, impatient people who do not like waiting! I think some people need to go on kindness training courses especially nowadays. Good post! A little bit of kindness goes a very long way! Take care. Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI agree Amanda, too many just have no patience for anything any more-sad
Delete"If you can be one thing, be kind" by Clementine Fraser. So true, spread kindness. Stay sweet and kind. Love greetings.
