Kindness...

Hope everyone is enjoying their beautiful Spring weather, their is so much to be thankful for. This past Easter I received a Face Book greeting from an old friend, a friend I haven't seen in many years. But this random greeting gave me more joy than this person could probably ever know. This greeting from a childhood friend made me think about all the people I have cared about, from my past. Random people who although they only highlighted my life for a moment, managed to share a piece of their world with me. And while even though for some it was for only a moment in time, they welcomed me with open arms inside their world. There was an eclectic mix of people from my past who I can truly say have touched me in so many different ways. 

I highly recommend to anyone...to never limit yourself to the "types" of people you associate with. It was something that impressed me early on, High school cliques were an early lesson. I just knew by watching people and their "tight knit" groups, that I never wanted to limit myself to any one type of people. The best lessons I have ever learned have come from all types of people, all colors, all walks of life. Some not so savory types, but seeing all walks of life always felt so right to me. I cherish these people and all of the lessons I have learned from their paths.

Kindness is a lesson I learned from all of these people who have touched my life whether it was for a second or a lifetime. They will always be cherished for a lifetime in my memories and my heart. Without these people who may not even know how much I learned from their lives, I wouldn't be who I am today. So today I want everyone to know that all who have crossed my path, good or bad are a part of who I am.

This is a lesson that I would like to share...

Be thankful for any person placed in your path of life, for even those who cause you pain or heartache or that you may have a distaste for, can teach you important life lessons. Share kindness and empathy for people. Without empathy the world is a bitter place, empathy will allow you to feel for someone and maybe give you a kinder outlook about who someone really is and where they may come from. We never know who may be acting out of hurt or is simply scared, empathize for that person who on the outside appears to be mean, angry or a bully. maybe they need someone in the world to understand their pain. Empathy will allow us to view the world through different eyes. Empathy and kindness will help the world bring to light Peace, Kindness and Regeneration...   

After all wouldn't you rather live in a place were your neighbors are Kind...I know I would.
