Life is a difficult ride. At times all of us will know pain, trouble, loneliness and struggle. That’s why it is so important for us to practice love and kindness. For your own benefit, as well as for others.
I saw the above paragraph at http://istopforsuffering.wordpress.com/
I enjoy, gain value from, and am often touched by that blog, and whole-heartedly believe in the wisdom of this saying.

Yes what a great saying I like it and I am now going over to check out the blog it came from…………
I do try to practice love and kindness each and every day…………….most days I succeed some days maybe not so much but I do try………….
Practicing good habits is a good thing, even when some days we miss our goals.
I think you’ll enjoy the other blog too, Jo-Anne. Thank you for your comment!
