Be kind. It's so true...it makes a tremendous difference in the world. The compliment or the kindness you do for someone else may be the difference in that person's day. Just as it happens when someone is kind to us, it should be simple to realize that another person will feel the same way. And just as important is being able to accept that compliment or kindness with another two simple words - "thank you". A lovely post today Heather. Truly love.

This morning I was walking with a friend and we happened to segue to discussing her husband's little vintage MG. She was talking about what a happy car it is - how people stop and want to have conversations about it. A young man canvassing the neighborhood recently for NYPIRG or some organization, and recently returned home from Iraq, was eyeing the car in the driveway and exclaiming what a neat car it was. Her husband offered to take him for a ride and he was thrilled. He said it was the best thing that had happened to him in a while. It was a very small thing. It's not something that would mean a lot to many of us. But it was a kindness that Warren offered on the spot. And I felt better hearing it. I've thought about it occasionally this morning. Makes me smile. I love this post – small things really make a difference – even hearing about them.

I had a horrible day yesterday! My CEO was NOT kid to me....I don't think that he did it on purpose but I'm in back pain and it just hit me the wrong way and i went to my office and burst into tears and began to clear off m desk and decided that I didn't work anymore. My DON knocked on my door and found me in that state and cleared thins up for me but this is exactly what I trying to express...the things that he says to me in an effort to be "funny" are unkind and hurt my feelings! I try to be kind to everyong and want my staff to be kind to everyone. Yes, I am known as one with the sense of humor but it is not ever at anyone;s expense! and my CEO's sense of humor is mean! I'm probably a blubbering idiot right now...still struggling with the idea that I'm upset with him and may quit my career because of his attitude toward me. Anyway, I''m going to use this in my office...Thanks I really needed this today. I had a horrible day yesterday!
