Words of Kindness and Joy

 “Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Teresa

 

Black petunias


Hydrangeas starting to show their colors.


 

A ladder I rescued from a neighbors trash.

I took my "big girl" camera out for a walk in the garden this week. Why I don't do that more often, I don't know. I guess the phone camera is just too handy and easy to grab and snap.

The quote at the beginning is so true. It seems just a nod of the head as you pass someone in the store, a smile,a hug when needed or even a heart sent in a text are all small things, so easy to do. We may never know what those small gestures do for the receiver.It may turn a bad day into a good day. 

Sending love,

Marilyn

    I always feel sad for people who don't even look up when you pass -- they might be involved in their phones or music or just looking down or straight ahead. I wonder, "What are you afraid of?" Even a nod of the head... but no. It's just sad.

    I've never seen a black petunia before, so cool. That ladder looks delightful in your garden. And the quote is so special. Mother Teresa became a Saint, and is one of my beloved Saints. : )

    Have a good June week. I appreciate your "words of kindness and joy" posts, Marilyn.

    Small kindnesses can mean so much. I try to remind myself of that when I'm out and about. Smiling or saying a pleasant word costs me nothing.
