Kindness

 

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." -His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

I can honestly say I enjoyed each part of the many years of my life. There were so many small things that made me a person who always cared for others, especially those who were very different from me. As the years went on, and as I was growing older, life threw me many emotional curves: losing loved ones, sicknesses, and most of all loneliness. So rather than looking back, when life was easier and less lonely, what I can do now is try to live in the moment; the past is gone, the future is truly a mystery. I look forward to the journey of my older years trying to make the people around me happy. -Claire Gelo

It feels so much better to plan what I can do for others rather than moaning about what I don't have in my life.
