Kindness

Happy Wednesday, everybody! :P

"One kind thought spoken is worth two unsaid." - Anon.
I do believe that even unspoken kind thoughts have existential value. However, spoken ones can be worth infinitely more to the recipient. Dear Lord, preserve us from stinginess of heart and any silence that amounts to a withholding of kindness.

Thanks Ingrid for your words about the triathlon on my website. I like that unspoken kind words have value, too. Thanks for coming to my goodbye party!!! And for coffee on Sat. My door will always be open for you in Belgium! Johnna

A good challenge for us all . . .how can it be so scary to tell someone how great they are? It's almost as though there is more vulnerability involved.

As always, you offer such good thoughts. Thank you.

Hi Ingrid
Fun to catch up with your words of late... perhaps someday soon we'll catch up face to face.

Hej Ingrid! Tänker på dig ibland. Vad har du för e-post? Jag behöver din postadress också! Planera gärna in en helg i Sverige runt den 15e september!
Många kramar och Gud välsigne dig!

yes.
Plato might agree:
"Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle."
