kindess and my dining room

Today, I was reminded of the power of kindness. A wonderful couple staying here this weekend unexpectedly presented me a beautiful orchid as a thank you for an enjoyable stay. I was completely blown away and sincerely touched by this gesture.


It made me realize that the power of kindness is amazing. I decided to search through my 21 page word document saved on my computer to find a couple quotes about kindness that I like...here's what I came up with...


Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
~Plato

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
~Nelson Henderson

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
~James Matthew Barrie


Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.
~Unknown


Oh, and here's my dining room.... or at least the start of it. Currently there is nothing on the walls...I would like to get a new area rug...and add a sofa table under the window (even though I did order one and they somehow forgot to include the screws)...and recover the chair cushion. In time. These things take time.
