A kind heart is
a fountain of gladness,
making
everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
~ Washington Irving
I expect to pass through this world
but once;
any good thing therefore that I can
do,
or any kindness that I can show to
any fellow creature,
let me do it now; let me not defer
or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way
again.
~ Stephen (Etienne) de
Grellet
Guard well within yourself that
treasure, kindness.
Know how to give without
hesitation,
how to lose without regret,
how to acquire without meanness.

Carolyn's new
portrait style
<gr>
Kindness is more than
deeds.
It is an attitude,
an expression,
a
look,
a
touch.
It is anything that lifts another person.
