One of the words that has been on my heart for a LONG LONG time is KINDNESS.
Kindness is something you can show a stranger as well as a close friend.
Sometimes it's a smile when you pass along the street,
holding the door for someone,
allowing a car to merge in front of you.
Sometimes it's a smile when you pass along the street,
holding the door for someone,
allowing a car to merge in front of you.
Sometimes it's holding your tongue when that car cuts in front of you.
Kindness is tolerating and accepting
a different point of view - even though you don't agree with it.
Sometimes it's just lending a helping hand.

Can you imagine the world if everyone was Kind to one another?
Oh, what a wonderful world it would be :)

So true Kerri!
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet..and I love the addition of words!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Very true! I love the photo!
ReplyDeleteOh yes what a wonderful world it would be and we do get glimpses of it when we see or do a kindness. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your photo too!
"Sometimes it's holding your tongue when that car cuts in front of you."- oops, I'm not good at that one!
ReplyDeleteI do try on the others too, and most kindnesses make me feel good as the giver.
Kerri, I like your words and look forward to more of them along with your photos in 2010.
This pic is wonderful, hubby must be a kind man for that bird to trust him, and you captured it beautifully, as you always do.
Very true. You have a gift with words as well as with your camera!
ReplyDeleteYour words are so true but this photo make a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteAmazing capture.
Kindness - something we all could practice.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic image!
Kerri,
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of words, I'm so pleased to know that I'll be hearing more of what's tucked inside of you, that photography doesn't show. Noy everyone that loves phtography, as you do, and is as good at it as you are, has a gift for words. Thus, some of these photographers use their art to express themselves. You, Kerri, are good at both, and that is rare. I call you doubly blessed!
Looking forward to seeing a deeper view of you this year. Words can draw pictures in our mind, and serve to waken our hidden or blocked senses.
It's like knocking on a door. It's an invitation for two-way communication. Where a shared photo without words - limits the viewer's experience to only what the see, rather than what they see and hear. It has a deeper impact. But then, I'm a lover of words
I'm so impressed that your husband actually got this bird to sit uopn his hand and eat. That speaks very strong words about the gentle quality of this man that chooses to share his life with you.
That makes you triplely blessed! :)

A really nice picture Kerri, I could not agree more about 'Kindness'... infact I'm going to start the day with a smile and pass it on to one and all.. :O)

ReplyDeleteHow true. How difficult sometimes to show (especially when someone is cutting me with his car). But you are absolutely right and it makes me want to try a little bit harder. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and a fabulous picture! I've had the cutest white breasted nuthatch visiting my feeders the last few days!
ReplyDeleteIt would indeed be a better world! I think if we were all kind there would be no more wars. What could be better than that?
ReplyDeleteI wish to imagine this kind world you describe. It's wondrous! As is your photograph of the kind hand and the trusting nuthatch.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful words of wisdom. Also, the nuthatch is one of my most favorite bird friends, I'm so envious :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo, and wonderful sentiments.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and beautiful words, I guess I need to remember them more often.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a great and happy new year.
