Kindness is a discipline, not a trait. As with many disciplines, kindness may come more easily to some than to others. But it is nonetheless something you can teach, something you can learn, something you can work at. Something you choose to do, rather than something you are.

This is a haunting story. Russia has laid out a master plan for a new city with a new population. On the ruins of the old Mariupol in Ukraine, a new Russian city is rising on top of the dead. The majestic Drama Theater was the city’s main bomb shelter until Russian airstrikes hit on March 16. To mask the ruins, Russian authorities put up a tall screen, etching the theater’s outline on the paneling in a ghostly reminder of its previous life. *UPDATE: Russia has demolished the Theater.

Joy is a mind-set & something we can orient toward by being on the lookout for it. We can't produce it, but we can be receptive to it. Focus on the good instead of the negative by mindfully paying attention, appreciating & accentuating the positive experiences we have in the moment. Finding the joy in small everyday experiences is a way to cultivate a more meaningful life.

“I am grateful, not in order that my neighbor, provoked by the earlier act of kindness, may be more ready to benefit me, but simply in order that I may perform a most pleasant and beautiful act.” ~ Seneca. Two millennia ago, great Roman philosopher Seneca examined the notion of gratitude & its broader implications for human life in his correspondence with his friend Lucilius Junior, later published as "Letters from a Stoic" (public library). #philosophy Seneca, Penguin Books, Annie Dillard, First Relationship, Sun Tzu, Material World, Penguin Classics, Sigmund Freud, Rice

"A hard frost finally came to my garden last week, & the zinnias are gone now, along with all the butterflies. I am sorry to see them go, & I am trying not to interrogate my own gratitude for the days they had here. I tell myself it is not wrong to exult in the beauties that remain. I remind myself of the testimony of my father’s whole life, of the truth he taught me — that loss and love will always belong to each other, that sorrow has always been joy’s quiet twin." ~ Margaret Renkl #gratitude Anti Democrat, Nature Drawing, Fight For Us, Screw It, Screwed Up, Zinnias, Woman Painting, Give Thanks, Go Outside
