You are obviously a very kind person too H, that is clear, even having not seen you for over 20 years (yikes!)<br />I used to go out with a guy who was a real rough sort. He was tattooed badly EVERYWHERE!!! And he had a short temper, would regularly get into bar fights for the most stupid reasons. No one really understood what I saw in him. His simple little motto in life was "it's nice to be nice". Apart from drunken fighting he was an extremely kind, thoughtful guy. To me, his mum, his sisters, his nieces and nephews, etc. I love that in a person. Being 'nice' is a great attribute I believe :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452811732831391055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409520830606075621.post-61368087204775457992014-02-17T02:13:08.197-08:002014-02-17T02:13:08.197-08:00I think that half the pleasure is in displaying ki...I think that half the pleasure is in displaying kindness and letting people know that they are loved.

You should concentrate on doing some RAK to YOURSELF - ie: forgiving yourself for struggling sometimes, accepting yourself and not comparing yourself to others and telling yourself you don't "measure up". Oh - and buy yourself a Malteaster bunny!!!<br />G xXxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086941863703833104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409520830606075621.post-38575621158390968962014-02-11T11:11:46.232-08:002014-02-11T11:11:46.232-08:00Thank You for such a considered response.

If most lie somewhere between the two for most of the time, a sort of benign neglect, then perhaps this is the least worst option but admittedly not the best, and perhaps rightly so. A world of saints would be very kind but perhaps tiresome because it becomes a commonplace. In reality I don’t think there’s much danger of that happening which is why RAK week is such a good idea.Concinnitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177134743775030239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409520830606075621.post-37059452046817157602014-02-11T06:34:10.627-08:002014-02-11T06:34:10.627-08:00What a lovely thihnk to say.
