Find small acts of human kindness

"If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain."

"We all carry something with us. Of course, it’s nice if we travel with someone who can help lighten the load. But usually it’s easier to just drop what we’ve been carrying, so we can get home that much sooner. Assuming of course, there will be someone there to greet us when we arrive.
Why do we clutch at this baggage even when we’re desperate to move on?
Because we all know there’s a chance we might let go too soon."

"Kisses are such simple things, we hardly notice them. But if we paid more attention we’d see that each kiss conveys a meaning on its own. for example, some can say “I’m so happy to see you.”, or “I didn’t realize you’d be here”, or “Honey, it’s time to stop drinking.” The truth is in knowing how to tell the difference. Yes, kisses mean different things to different people. The meaning depends on the one who does the kissing and the one who sees it happen. The act itself never varies, but each kiss carries with it a meaning on its own; it can convey husband’s eternal devotion, or a wife’s enormous regret. It can symbolize a mother’s growing concern, or a lover’s growing passion. But whatever its meaning, each kiss reflects a basic human need; the need to connect to another human being. This desire is so strong, it’s always amazing when some people don’t understand it."

"Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way."
