You Made My Day

I appreciate your kindness
More than words can say;
The very nice thing you did for me
Really made my day!

By Joanna Fuchs

You are a person
who makes life easier and better
for everyone around you.
Your continual acts
of thoughtfulness
and kindness
brighten each day.
What you did for me
will glow in my memory,
reviving pleasant feelings
every time I think about it.
I appreciate you,
and I thank you.

Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundness, kindness in feeling creates love.

My friend has the heart of a child, even though we are growing alarmingly old! She is a mental health therapist and helps people deal with mental and emotional difficulties in their lives. A strong proponent of Fun as Healer, Sid encourages her clients to make time every day for a little fun. She, however, doesn’t have to force herself to do it. It comes naturally to her. I remember years ago, while studying to become a therapist, she was given an assignment to research the reactions of people who witnessed something that was unusual.Read more

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head,
To handle others, use your heart.Read more

When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

The Memory That We Were Kind

Does anyone know where the little boy went?

The little boy who used to be me?

He’s still alive somewhere inside this shell

Though the shell is all you can see.

Can you still see him reaching out for love

From behind these time-worn eyes?

The child with a heart as bright as the stars

Hiding beneath this thin disguise?Read more

To all those that I meet
With Kindness I will greet
With a smiling face
and a friendly trace,
I will teach them to be kind
In Soul, in Heart, and Mind.

The sweetest things come from children! Once I was ill and in the hospital. After a week, I was discharged to go home. As often happens when you’ve just been released from a hospital, I really didn’t feel up to cooking, cleaning or doing much of anything that required staying awake. My friends and family delivered the goods when it came to feeding my husband and me, running errands, doing laundry and keeping the house tidy. Their get well wishes came in the form of actions that helped me to keep up the house and my strength as I recuperated. To this day I remain grateful for their support.Read more
