Thoughts for Thursday:Random Acts of Kindness!



Random Acts of Kindness Week Feb.15-Feb.21

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~Leo Buscaglia

A kind act is "random" when it is unexpected-done simply out of the will to extend goodness, person to person, without expecting anything in return.

I  just learned that this week is" Random Acts of Kindness week".
What can you do?
It doesn't have to be  huge! Little things count so much!Something as small as a smile may brighten someone's day.
Let's all do our part.This week and beyond!







Kindness is love in action. When you give kindness, all things take their rightful place. It matters not where or when...just give. If you watch, you will see a need, and then will find that there is great joy in giving.




The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. ~

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist.

While she is bed-ridden and encased in a body cast   Frida began to paint lying in bed with a special easel rigged up by her mother. With the help of
