Somewhat emotional this morning, a tear down my cheek and a warm feeling in my chest after seeing these. Yes, we know these people are out there, it's just too bad that the ugly, hateful ones get all the coverage.

Bob said...

We need a lot more of this and I will, of course, be stealing some!

Good people exist. When my neighbor got his second cancer diagnosis this year his company donate hundreds of hours of PTO and other workers donated their PTO also so the family could concentrate on the long drives and treatment and not worrying about work.
Good people are all around us.

Beautiful message. Jayne

Boud said...

That was lovely. Very timely, too. There are a lot of good people, but they're not the ones getting coverage, so this helps right the balance.

We need to be reminded that there are good people in the world that, right now, seems to be filled with the worst of the worst.

The positive vibes in this post are delicious ... and a nurse shouldn't be a nurse if she isn't kind and ooozing with empathy ... so you showed me that in this case that is true. Love it all Debra ...

What a lovely loving post. Yes, I teared up, but tears of the heart, not tears of rage.
The Navajo and the woodpeckers really got me.

I think we should all adopt that Navajo tradition.

The child laughter tradition really resonates, it's the most genuine and joyful sound in the universe. I am honoured to hear my grandson giggle regularly.
