Just a simple question today: Is there anything more beautiful than an act of true kindness?
I was surprised by such a moment today and it moved me as much as any rolling vista or glowing Vermeer.
To give for the act of giving without expecting anything in return, whether the gesture be big or small, is quite…pure. Something akin to Love or Hope, those most ephemeral of emotions, finding form in a manner that always brings light to the dark.
Your thoughts?
Oh Jackie…how can I respond? It is so true…Do you think that it was like that in the past? I sometimes do but wonder if I am kidding myself…???
Thank you for that, Sylvia.
yes, no strings attached acts can warm a heart more than any"thing"
Yes. Kindness like love is given without attachments.
Kindness is also a form of gratitude. To be given an opportunity to be kind.
Someone told me once: "giving is the best cure for not having." I believe that completely. I also believe giving gives us so much.
Sending you some happy weekend & father's day vibes…
Thank you for giving us what you do with this wonderful site.

With Father's Day approaching I am reminded how kind my husband is…and what an example he has set for our children. beautiful post Heather ..thank you….Janey
I truly believe that being kind, giving, generous and having a positive outlook rubs off on others and encourages them to do the same. Obviously it won't always work on everyone but hopefully the universe takes note and sends positive things back 🙂
On another note, I was wondering if you and/or Remi have done the Inca Trail?

Kindness is the most important currency.
I love to GIVE……………makes me happy!But I do have to say I am astonished by the lack of thank~yous………..
Lack of people following through on what they say………..I could go on and on…………..I 'm reminded that I should give with expecting ZERO in return……..I do not expect anything materialistic just a THANK~YOU!A thank ` you goes a long way for me…..as I said it makes me HAPPY!
Now, enough complaining and down to the COOP for clean OUT!Almost there…………….tomorrow D~DAY!
Isn't it sad that an unexpected kindness is so unique that it evokes in all of us such a reaction? Wouldn't it be nice if it were so routine that we performed the acts and received the benefits of them as the norm and not something out-of-the-ordinary? Thanks for another thought-provoking post, Heather. Happy weekend to you~ xoxo J
