Title: World Kindness Day - Sunday 11-13
Post by: John Raabe on November 11, 2011, 11:31:54 AM
Sunday (11-13) is World Kindness Day. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

But I saw this little 2 min video... and it is disarmingly simple.

Here is more about the World Kindness Movement.

I find it amazing to discover the emotional power that can be contained in very small gestures. I'm so sorry it took me so long.

That was great! :D I think I missed that when it was originally aired in the 50's.

Neat story about the bells & great idea about world kindness, John! 

Guess we kinda just had our own world kindness days a little early - the Humphrey Fellows left this afternoon.  We had 2 special people stay in our home - Hugues from Haiti & Thang from Mynmar (Burma).  Their group, the people from ISI who brought them to Mariposa & our little church family had a great time breaking bread together, seeing the beauty of Yosemite & they even took the time to tour our crazy underground cabin!

We have new family from around the world & have an open welcome to visit their homes whenever we get a chance  :)

Tried to be nice to everyone today.

Got crapped on about half a dozen times.

Apparently they weren't aware of the post at Country Plans.
