healingtree wrote: Awesome conversation. Thanks for allowing us to learn from it. It's true this site is far more than just prettiness, it is about how we train the mind to see positives, and go on to do things in that spirit. In this group it's not about boasting, it's about encouraging others. After all, we are anonymous and no one is really hearing about "us", but about kindness in action!

Very nicely and effective way you handles negativity and turned it into positivity in very humble way. I wish many more people just adopt your approach and leave positive note for everybody. Thanks for sharing.

I have always enjoyed reading about the kindness that is shared on this website; it has made me have a positive outlook that people do want to be a part of kindness to others. This message opened another door. That of the fact that others may see the sharing as boastful. I'd never thought of it in that way. Ephesians 2:9 says, not of works, lest any man should boast. Just want you and all the others who are sharing their acts of kindness: i do not think the intent is boasting - it is a kindness sharing. Now i don't have to be pensive about it, but i do thank you for the opportunity to ponder upon the possibility. Keep on sharing the stories of acts of kindness - we all need to hear about them to encourage others also to be kind.

I had it in my email, but when i got cleaning out that overcrowded email, i mistakenly deleted it. I will, once again, see if i can resurrect my deleted mail, but can't you tell me what is needed so i can reenter the required information.
Thanks.
