KIND.

We left Mia and Kai outside when we went to do our weekly shopping.  Arriving home I saw Kai lying on the tiles next to Mia, who is comfortably lying next to him on the outside dog bed. 

I immediately felt such a warm proud feeling inside my heart.  How sweet, amazing and kind that is of him.

Kai, my kind-hearted GSP

I called Stian to come and have a look at the two of them and Kai being such a sweet older brother, giving up the bed so his sister can lie on it.  Stian started laughing and said “Johanita don’t be so naive to think that Kai would give up the bed for Mia, because I want to bet you that that is not the case”.

Well, I said, I still believe he did.  Allow me to believe that, even if it’s not true.  Allow me to think that he is good, and sweet and kind.

It immediately made me think about a quote I read the other day.

In a world where you can be anything- Be kind.

I choose to believe in the good, in love and in kindness.

I choose to believe that people, and dogs in this case, can be good and kind.

I think that’s maybe why I believe in second chances, allowing someone to try again. Try to be better, kinder, different.

I choose to see the lovely, the pretty and the good in every human, in every situation.  Call me naïve, I don’t really care. 

Kindness should not be mistaken for weakness.  It’s much easier to become hard, cold and inhuman in a world that treats you unfair.  It’s a much easier path to follow and to conform to.

It takes courage to stay delicate in a cruel world.

Life is way too short not to believe and see the things that make you happy, the things that make your heart all warm and fluffy inside. 

I choose to be kind and see the kindness in everyone or everything.

There are way too few kind people in this world.

Way too few smiles when you walk in the shops.

Way too few people who helps you when you struggle to get something from a high shelve.

Way too few people who help you when you must carry something heavy or pick up something that has fallen.

Way too few people that allow you to go first.

Way too few people with warm and fluffy hearts.

I hope you get to be kind this week and I hope you are surrounded by people that are kind to you. 

I hope you allow yourself to see the good all-around you and that it fills you and inspires you to be only that……Kind……

May you be one of those “Way too few people”
