Waterfalls

Submitted by Cristy E T

An act of kindness is like a few drops of water that flows to one vessel and continues on to another vessel and on and on.

I love it when folks are kind, to just be kind. To do anonymous gestures with the only personal benefit being; to know they are making someone smile or feel nice. I saw this sticker stuck on a lamp post in the middle of a bridge-crossing the other day and I couldn’t resist to go back and take a photo. Whomever put it there will never see the people that smile when they see it, but they put it there anyway. Random acts of kindness are so subtle, yet so powerful and contagious. In this busy electronic world of email, skype, sms, facebook, twitter and everything else we all try our best to keep up with, it’s nice to know there are folks out there, on foot, leaving their personal (hard-copy) and anonymous stamp on our streets. It’s cool and it’s nice. :)

KINDNESS

Quotes
How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment. We can start now, start slowly, changing the world. How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make a contribution toward introducing justice straightaway. And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!
Anne Frank Diarist  (1929-1945);
Fill each day with life and heart. There is no pleasure in the world comparable to the delight and satisfaction that a good person takes in doing good.
John Tilloston Archbishop Of Canterbury  (1630-1694);
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your modus operandi and change your world.
Annie Lennox Scottish Singer Songwriter, Political Activist And Philanthropist  (born 1954);
Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.
Diana Spencer Princess Of Wales  (1961-1997);
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Saint Basil  Bishop Of Cesarea  (329-379);

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law have an autistic child. In order to participate in a fundraiser walk, they needed to raise some money. Only a couple of people had donated and they were quite discouraged. So, I took it upon myself to discreetly make some phone calls and send out an email to a bunch of family and friends to ask them to support my nephew. They raised hundreds of dollars and don't even know how it happened. They are now pumped about the upcoming walk!

I was a first grade teacher for eight years. At the beginning of each day, my students and I read a sentence we had written together at the beginning of the year and posted on the wall. The sentence was "Kindness is important!" That set the tone for the year-each day we noticed and acknowledged individual acts of kindness among the students. Our classroom was a happy place to learn!
