Kindness can take courage When the world can be cruel Kindness can take honesty And challenge your views
Kindness can take quietness When you would normally speak Kindness can burst forth Laughing cheek to cheek
Kindness can feel giant When you are feeling small Kindness can be the most treasured gift That you can give to all.
‘Just because an animal is large, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.’
“I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don’t even try to tell me different.”
Dolly Parton
Katie closed her eyes and prayed
It was, after all, a holiday
She didn’t often go to church
It didn’t resemble her faith much
Yet in her heart, she felt a pull
She always had since starting school
A little voice that said “believe”
And in that voice she found relief
It may not be the common faith
But in her heart, it had found its place
Be kind, be curious and in all things love
This was the faith that she dreamed of.

This week’s topic on WQW was Faith/Hope. A difficult subject. One I am highly unqualified to discuss in reality so I have gone for a simple poem. I believe everyone’s faith is personal to them, in the same way each friendship, romance, dream, desire and life is personal. I don’t think a one-size-fits-all will ever be accepted by everyone, so your beliefs or faith may be slightly different to the next person, but that’s okay. The closest single message is the #BEKIND campaign, which I think all of the world wishes was more true. ❤
I know, I know there’s always one that ruins the fun for everyone but after seeing a poor puppy have its stomach pumped after breaking into an easter egg stash (on social media, not my puppy). I thought I’d put this together to remind others. I hadn’t realised hot cross buns were that dangerous too, so it’s always worth being careful.
I hope you all have a wonderful EASTER and for those of us (humans and four-legged friends alike).
When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles
Pooh Bear
Tap, Tap, Tap
Goes the child against the door
Drip, Drip, Drip
Raindrops roll from coat to floor
Wag, Wag, Wag
Tail of the eager dog
Great, big, sigh
This is going to be a slog
Please, please, please
Says the one who can barely talk,
Even in this weather?
Looks like we’re going for a walk
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
Goes the Invasive wind
Splash, splash, splash
The child and dog grin
Thud, thud, thud
Throbs my beating heart
Smile, smile, smile
Happiness is an art.
When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles.
Regardless of the weather and whether you’ve been home all day or just walked in, a walk is always welcome in our house, especially a walk with puddles. My little guy and the four-legged old lady both conquered the puppy dog eyes long ago. They have no regard for an imposition the wet walk may cause. However, often those two know better and after we’re home dried and snuggled back under a blanket, I too must succumb to the notion that the walk was a good idea.
