The world sometimes can really suck, and there are a lot of people out there who can be selfish and cruel some (or even most) of the time.
But the world can also be a place of great beauty, and people can be generous and kind beyond any measure.
What beauty have you seen today? Which kindness from one person to a stranger?
One kind act I saw today was a Bluegrass band come into the hospital where I work. They set up a concert in the lobby of the nursing home for the veterans. The veterans were brought out in their wheelchairs to watch the musicians and hear the music. The band was actually very good. You should have seen the way the patients' faces glowed as they heard the band play.
Yesterday my girls brought me a picture they made for me.
My son also came in and told me I was beautiful. I tell him that is why I keep him.
Every day my dad does kindness. He tends to my mom with her Alzhimers, takes her to church everyday to make her happy and they go to a nursing home 2 times a week. Now that mom can't do a reading, songs, and bring communion to them, they show gospel videos.
If women were in charge, the military would have to do bake sales in order to buy more weapons.

We forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
Today we remember to live and to love"

While I've been looking for a car during the last week or so, my brother has driven me everywhere. Up to 50 miles away for a car I wasn't even sure about. He's put up with my indecision, my bitching, and my relentless questions with a kind of tolerance that I could never expect from someone else. Without a doubt, he deserves some sort of reward...
I bought him pizza yesterday... maybe I should think bigger.

Perhaps pizza and some wine. Maybe a movie?
Dude, I love my brother... but I don't love my brother...
I'll figure something out. Thanks, Guns.

I was working day before yesterday, and amongst all the foaming animalistic people looking for God-knows-what at Best Buy, this guy allowed me to start a normal conversation with him. We must halve talked for almost fourty five minutes.
It was SO NICE having a normal person/person conversation in retail.
Yay.
