Life's Too Short to Be Mean

Today's Real Simple thought for the day is "A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge." I liked that and wanted to share it with you.

I've deleted a couple of comments off my blog in the last couple of days. That's not something I regularly do. In fact, my censorship of comments on the blog is very rare. But I felt these comments were mean-spirited and petty.

I would never post something like that. Would I think it? Sure, I'm human. At times I think mean things, but I quickly banish them. I would never memorialize them in pixels for all the world to see forever and ever. Really—what's the purpose? What's the point in trying to make someone feel bad?

Many times during John's illness I thought about cross-stitching a wall hanging that would say "Kindness spoken here."

I hope that's how you view my blog: Kindness spoken here.
