Piglet Wisdom

From the wisdom of a tiny Piglet, the immense most precious gift of friendship and an understanding heart. Can there be anything kinder one being can offer to another to make us feel loved, secure and peaceful? Sleep well. 🌙

Three Beautiful Words

Three beautiful words that bless us each time they appear. I was reminded today and nearly every day how often they come into my life thanks to loving family and good friends and how grateful I am. They are my rock. These gifts I wish for all in this world to soften any hard edges which they find in their lives.

Sleep well. 🌙

Kindness

Even the smallest act of kindness resonates deeply, benefiting not only the recipient, but also the giver along with anyone who observes the moment. It has ramifications we may not hear about for a time or never. It's enough to know that kindness offered sends out positive ripples that spread farther than we can imagine. Take a moment to reach out each day, if you can, and be comforted knowing that you've done your best. Sleep well. 🌙

Kindness Resolve

Helping someone to cross the street, feeding a hungry person, rescuing a stray animal, most of us are moved to lend a hand when we see a need.  However, the most fundamental kindness, I believe, lies in how we treat ourselves.  We spend so much time and effort beating ourselves up for what we have not done, for the mistakes we've made, for the dreams and goals we've let go by.  It's exhausting and debilitating.  No wonder we get stuck.

It's time to change.  It's time to be kind to ourselves, to let go of that scolding, criticizing, blaming voice inside our heads that makes us feel so bad.  As has been said over and over, we are our own worst critics.  Why concentrate on the bad?  Ask anyone who knows and loves you: you will hear a litany of all the good things they see in you.  Recognize and accept the good while acknowledging that, for your entire life, you are a masterpiece in progress.

Resolve to be kind to yourself while you work on what needs to be done. You'll free yourself up to pursue all the wonderful dreams you've been saving for "some day."

Repeat after me:


                        "Today, I will be kind to myself!"

Again.

                        "Today, and every day, I will be kind to myself!"

Salud to your kinder self.
