A new thought on kindness

There are times when I feel stuck in the past ways of loneliness, negativity and doubt.



Often, it is a kind word or gentle reminder from a good friend that helps me remember who I really am.


My heart is open to live in Love.


Thank You for the people You have brought into my life who love, care for and encourage me.


I know that each one is an expression of Your love.


I am part of a living, giving, loving community of people.

A simple thought related to extending kindness

Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up.

An act of kindness-out of the blue

I received this quote today and I could relate to the message. 

Whatever feelings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.



Worry attracts more worry. Anxiety attracts more anxiety. Unhappiness attracts more unhappiness. Dissatisfaction attracts more dissatisfaction.


AND . . .


Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love.


Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?

Do it anyway

Whenever you feel that something as simple as a smile or a kind act will go unnoticed, do it anyway. You never know how much it might change someone else's life.

a tribute to my mom

My mom showed me the way on how to give random acts of kindness.  Her actions spoke volumes to me.  Her character has inspired me.  She would leave me little inspirational quotes when I was a brooding teenager.  I find them in my room, in my lunch and on the side door.  At her funeral, I closed my tribute to mom with the following quote:

to laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch...
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.    Emerson

My mom touched more people than I will ever know as she was humble and did not want recognition for her acts. 
I am carrying on your work, mom.
Love you,
Greg

This day

A thought on this beautiful Sunday morning, in my own words.

"Embrace this day, realizing it is a PRESENT sent with LOVE from ABOVE."

A Thought to Ponder

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
