Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but perhaps greater than love...Kindness is good will.
Kindness says, "I want you to be happy.

  So true. And very interesting to put it as.."I want you to be happy." Just like I heard once that using good manners - in words and actions is a way of showing that you feel the people around you are deserving of respect.

  Very good posting, Dawn! Celt, you are so right about showing others respect. Good manners can take you a long way. And cathi, you are right about kindness comes back to you when you least expect it. Always a nice surprize!!

  It is so true.
  My daughter and Paul always tell me that I am always too nice to people when we are out. When we go to the store,dinner etc. I hold doors for people,male or female. I always clean up my table after we eat.I don't mean like wipe it up.But I always stack the dishes so its easy for them to clean up.I am always polite when I order or even at a cash register,I always say pls,thank you to everyone.I smile at absolutely everyone I come into contact with and made eye contact with.It never surprises me when you see someone who looks to be having a bad day what a simple smile can do.I was raised with good manners and I raised my children the same way.It is a very very simple thing,but I agree it goes a very very long way.
  Ok I am rambling,I really loved this post today Dawn,I loved everyones comments.I am going to print it, post this on my Frig.
  Thanks,Deb

  I agree with your daughter and Paul BTW, Deb.
  There are times when the best kindness for someone is to be strong and tough (not cruel and nasty) = tough love. For their own good.

This is for members who suffer from chronic non relenting pain and want to deal with it share their ideas their experiences in a positive forum. We can all learn from each other. Lets do it in a warm loving positive compassionate way. Thats what we all want need and are best at doing. We are positive people lets all keep it POSITIVE theres enough negativity in the world already. WELCOME
