Monday's Musings ~ Kindness

There’s a new meme in town.
My good friend Barbara would love to see you and have you join in.
She made my header and this great button to match.
She’s made more buttons to choose from.
So head on Over to Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers to join the fun.

Remember the nicest thing you can do for yourself is to do something nice for someone else.

Never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed. It takes so little to make people happy – just a touch, if we know how to give it, just a word fitly spoken, or a slight readjustment of some bolt or pin or bearing in the delicate machinery of a human soul.

Monday's Musings ~ Kindness

My good friend Barbara gave me a spring makeover last night when she made my new header and then surprised me with this great button to match. So my first few quotes for this meme will be about kindness in hopes of reminding us all how important it is to have kindness in our life and to give kindness to others.

She’s made many more fun buttons for you to choose from.
So, head on over to
Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers
to join the fun.

Make it a habit to do nice things for people who’ll never find out. That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
~William Wordsworth*

What Cousins are Made of

I found this quote in a magazine earlier tonight and had to share it
because it is exactly how I feel about my cousin, Jenn.

One part love,
One part Friend,
One part Sister,
That’s what Cousins
are made of…

There are few more parts I would add to the list though.
Words like: therapist, confidant, survivor, advocate, comedian…
After all without a sense of humor none of the rest of it matters.

Food for thought

I received this email this evening and thought it was so touching that I needed to share it.


As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back. Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Happy ST. Patrick’s Day

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Food for thought

When I stand before God at the end of my life
I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left
and could say
“I USED EVERYTHING YOU GAVE ME”
