“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” - Mother Teresa

Often kind words is an easy way to build relationships. Recently I had a couple of elderly friends who had seen all kinds of good times and hard times in their life tell me how good a person I was. Some of the birthday greetings on Facebook spoke kind words about me.

My response to family and friends was to thank them for birthday greetings and the kind words. Yes, they do mean a lot to me so I should know how much they me to others. Sometimes I forget this lesson but keep working to remember it, especially with people who upset and annoy me.

Kind words are like petals on a flower. One can be overlooked but put together they are the beauty to the flower. Kind words may be softly spoken but the echoes keep reverberating. Kind words are a small step in building a grand design. Kind words get heard while nasty words are soon forgotten. Kind words come from a gentle person. Kind words are snacks leading up to the grand dessert. Kind words are delicious.
