Today is World Kindness Day … doesn’t feel much like it here in the U.S., does it? According to the website Inspire Kindness …
World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. This day, celebrated on November 13 of each year, has the purpose is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations.
Let’s all try to remember that we’re all in this boat (planet Earth) together, try to set aside our differences for a bit, and remember to be kind … not just today, but every day.
Love ‘n hugs to all my wonderful friends from Filosofa!

I ABSOLUTELY agree!!! Why just one day a year? If we all celebrated it every day, did just one small act of kindness every day … wow, what a wonderful world this could be. Ahhhhhh … that reminds me of a song … maybe for tomorrow’s music post!

Ah yes, the time difference! Well, it’s never too late, I think, to observe World Kindness Day … in fact, we should observe it every day! I’m trying not to be angry, Michael, but … it’s hard. Angry and depressed by all I see. Sigh.

I’ll feel more secure once Biden actually takes the Oath of Office. Maybe.

Here it was aired DJT has accepted the result of the election. Sounds like he will move.

Sorry to disappoint, but he apparently tweeted this morning that Biden had won, but then took the tweet down and is digging his heels in as hard as ever. Sigh. It doesn’t matter, for Biden will take the Oath of Office on January 20th, but … first, it is demoralizing to the people of this country, and second, it is posing a national security risk as he refuses to allow the transition team access to the information they need. Perfect time for a hostile country to plan a terrorist attack, while we effectively have NO government and while the people are busy fighting in the streets. Sigh.

You are undoubtedly aware that “World Kindness Day” was created when a collection of humanitarian groups came together on November 13, 1997 and made a “Declaration of Kindness”. That this day not only should, but also needs to be promoted now more than ever goes without saying. Jaime Corpus Reyes founded the “Waves of Kindness Global Initiative” on January 1, 2010 which advocates just that : “Kindness is pure love expressed, experienced, realized and celebrated everyday. Human Kindness defines the fate of Humankind.” In the spirit of World Kindness Day…go forth and generously sprinkle kindness everyday everywhere on everyone! Thank-you!

Indeed, I was aware of some, but not all of that, and had originally planned a much more informative post to note the day, but in light of other things going on, I simply could not find the motivation. So, thanks for adding a bit of the history of the day! Since I did not leave the house yesterday, I didn’t get to be kind to many, but I did try to be extra kind to the girls and the kitties! Does that count?

As far as I’m concerned, the end of Trump is an astonishing act of world kindness. I’ll be more cognizant the kindness list more when he’s fully gone as President.

Dear Jill and James,
Having the belligerent POTUS around is such a straining affair that every day needs to be a World Kindness Day!
Which of the following two statements do you prefer and why?
(1) It is kind to be nice.
(2) It is nice to be kind.
