kindness - lately, this word sticks with me - comes to mind - over and over again
kindness
be kind
if everyone were kind, this world would be so much different - cliche, i know, but true
i've seen the idea of choosing a word for the year over the past few years, and have never chosen a word for myself. this year, the word chose me.
it keeps coming to me when i think about relationships
it keeps coming to me when i teach my kids
it keeps coming as the answer to most any situation
kindness
really, what else is there?
if i am kind, i am not selfish or angry or cross or arrogant . . .
if i am kind i am loving and giving and respectful . . .
if i treat others with kindness, aren't they more apt to treat me with kindness?
and answering my own question - not always - but if i am kind, i know that i have done right
if i am kind, my heart can rest
kindness dwells with peace and joy
in maddie-language, kindness, peace and joy are BFFs
and always, always, what goes around, comes around
i would like more kindess to be going around, to be coming around
i'll give kindness a place to start, in my heart, in my home, in my words, in my actions
i'll give kindness a chance to usher in peace and joy
right now, my one word is
kindness
