Lovely Dee.

I'm enjoying a bit or irony in that my user name is Behindalways and I needed to read this today. The situation in the US is getting to me and we so so need kindness right now . . . . . .opinions and anger we have plenty of and it is so easy to go that route. Sigh

I forget where I saw it, but this stuck with me. "No kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." I love that.

I agree. Acts of kindness often carry tremendous power.

For this particular moment in history, the thing I'll remember most is how we treated each other. I can't imagine a single thing that matters more than this.

"In the end, only kindness matters."
Remember that song?

Great one, Dee. To be kind & empathetic - I've tried all my life, but I can try harder.

Awesome Dee​​​​​​​. You lead by a kindness example. Gratitude and thank you bro.
The Dali Lama once said my religion is kindness. I think the Dali Lama is a cool dude and as a noble practice kindness is king.
I do my best to practice kindness but I'm no Saint. Always room for improvement I say.

Hey, iAmSam, I can see that image even if I'm not logged in, so you must have some setting on your personal device that is disallowing your viewing pictures (?) I dunno...but it's not the number of posts.

I googled where the exact quote came from.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
