Offering Kindness Is Easy And It Is Necessary!

Happy Friday Eve y’all! How has your week been so far? I hope your week is going well and you are feeling the best you possibly can! What a crazy week, as y’all know yesterday was my birthday and today is my 9 year wedding anniversary. How does time go by so fast? It honestly feels like it was yesterday when my husband and I met halfway down the aisle. I still think it was a great idea. We started our marriage off meeting halfway, which shows compromise and we still compromise today!

We are almost to the much desired weekend and only have one day of the week left! Are y’all looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? I hope whatever your plans may be, you will do the best you can to stay safe. I know I must sound like a broken record, but this virus is terrifying and we can’t let our guard down. Many states have loosened restrictions and those states are seeing a drastic increase in COVID cases. Even though I say this in every post, I am saying it because I care about each and every one of you!

As we are nearing the end of this week, I think we could all use a little pick me up! I hope you will find the quote I am sharing with y’all as the little pick me up needed to get through the rest of this week! Of course, I am eager to read your thoughts and I will response as quickly as I can. I want y’all to know how much I value and appreciate the chance to read your thoughts on the quotes I share. I obviously think they are great, but your opinion matters to me!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site today! I hope you have a lovely Friday eve and your day goes the way you want it to. I know sometimes it isn’t easy, but try to not work too hard today! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

My husband and I have been together for over thirty years, and still love and value each other. Being respectful, whenever possible, and forgiving, when not, helps to make it go along smoothly.

That is so impressive, 30 years! It is refreshing to read something this special, especially when so many couples have a difficult time making marriage work. I find that compromise is very important and without it, marriages do not seem to last. Thank you Carolyn for sharing this!!

It is the amazing position that the dichotomy that you posted extends us to consider. We have but a short time on this round ball that we call “home” but how often do we take the time for reflection on what would be the best use of our time. It is something that is so delicate as it’s one thing that we cannot get back if squandered. This leads me to a thought of the climate that we are in currently. The demands that we should pick a side and the other side or viewpoint is wrong is a fallacy that we only prove to be true by our actions and words. I have a neighbor who has a vastly different opinion of the issues but she has had the benefit of time to formulate her opinion. I sometimes say a few comments in order to get her to consider her stance and look at the prevailing issues through another set of glasses but she is unwilling to view the issue in any other light than what she has painted for herself. It is not that I would like her to follow my lead but rather analyze the issues critically and THEN make up her mind. I can still be a good neighbor even though I don’t see the issue of the day in the light that her candle casts. I believe that is where our lives do not exemplify a higher calling. Where two people walk together one often will have a different approach than the other and all viewpoints are valid. However the “right” path is what’s right for us. What we have programmed our moral compass to. How we handle the disagreement shows our maturity and compassion for our fellow human.
I saw a sign yesterday that said HUMAN KIND-BE BOTH. What a goal to attain. Both In our thoughts and actions.

You are so right about compromise. I want to do what my wife would like, and vice versa. It’s part of unconditional love. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary! 😎👨🦽
