The Saga of Prosperous Snow Continues |
Monday, November 13, 2017 "You got to try a little kindness, yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets" Glen Campbell - Try A Little Kindness Lyrics1 This Glen Campbell song is running through my head. It's been running through my head all night. That's all right with me because Mr. Campbell is one of my favorite vocalist. The "Blogging Circle of Friends " prompt for DAY 1824 November 13 is World Kindness Day. The goal of this day is to "build a kinder and more compassionate world". This celebration of kindness dates from November 13, 1997. Write a blog entry about kindness. World Kindness Day David Langness, in the article "What Will You Do for World Kindness Day?"2, gives the background of this wonderful day. This beautiful day was inaugurated twenty years ago (1997) in Tokyo, and has spread to become a worldwide celebration of kindness. While, we should do something kind for someone every day, we do need to be reminded that kindness spreads. A random act of kindness to a stranger has the potential of spreading across the planet. Spread kindness, let it become the buttered toast with your morning coffee. Footnotes |
