Compassion
Came down
Landing softly
Like dew
Like a whisper
Of hope
That made
The land sparkle
In silence
And Peace.Pamela Stead Jones 2010

Fourteen years ago today
Ivy Christina arrived on the planet! She landed between the blizzard and the snowstorm, and our lives have never been the same since that day. It's hard to believe that the time has flown by so quickly, and that tiny, helpless baby is now a beautiful young teen. We love you , Ivy -- you've changed our lives in so many ways! Happy Birthday!

Kindness
Kindness
Like falling rain
Brought life
To my soul.
Kindness
Like night breeze
Brought life
To my spirit.
Kindness
Like bread
Brought strength
To go on.
Kindness
Like wealth
Overflowed
In my wake.Pamela Stead Jones 2010

Simple Acts
I've just returned from the grocery store, where the bagger asked me, "paper or plastic." I answered, "paper," because the walk from the car seems awfully long over snow and ice. It's easier on my arthritic fingers to hold a bag underneath than to let it hang on my cold hands. "I have a bit of a walk to the house," I told her.
As I was leaving, a woman I've never met approached me. "Are you walking home? she asked, "I can give you a ride." A simple act -- one I've done myself in the past -- but on a cold day it would have meant the world to someone without a car.
Random...kind...and action. So simple, yet so powerful.

Constant Kindness
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”
-- Albert Schweitzer
