Kindness starts early
Today my three year old son Max and our dog were playing. Our dog picked up one of Max's trains in his mouth. Max said to our dog, "We don't eat trains... people are nice to trains". I was touched that even at the age of 3, Max felt a lesson in kindness was appropriate, even if he was giving the lesson to our dog. It's never too early to make kindness part of our daily routine.

Max has learned well from his mother and father who practice kindness and compassion all the time.

Yes, I have to say that my husband and I always practice being courteous, polite and full of gratitude. It's a secret of happiness...saying please and thank you to those you love shows them how much you respect them. Sometimes simply voicing your gratitude of a household chore makes that chore joyful. When I need my husband to help with something around the house I ALWAYS ask, "Would you be WILLING to help carry in the groceries?" This way he decides if he is willing or not and I don't sound like a "nagging" wife. Trust me ladies - this little bit of respect to the man you love goes a long way.
