It Doesn't Cost Anything to be Kind  

​

During 2024, there was so much anger swirling around political and public discourse, I could not help but wonder why so many people were angry.  Why were people being so mean to each other?  It costs nothing to be kind.  So began my theme for the 2025 calendars.  It was a way to remind us that we have the power to create a positive environment as we move through this world.

Kindness is like snow.  It Beautifies everything it covers—Kahlil Gibran

​

Winter with its short days makes many of us long for warmth and longer periods of sunshine.  Yet, it is nice to take advantage of the early sunsets to stay indoors and curl up with a book, listen to music, or relax by listening to a podcast about something new. These shorter days offer restoration, opportunities to refuel, and energy to reengage.

​

Darkness deserves gratitude.  It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand that all growth does not take place in the sunlight—Joan Chittister

​

Wishing you peace, good health, and many unexpected joys in the coming year.  Be  kind to yourself and to those in need of a bit of grace.

 

One kind word can warm three winter months—Japanese Proverb
