What are some of the wonderful/beautiful/good things you witness in this world?
Although I do believe there is a lot of kindness, empathy and compassion lacking in this world, it is also filled with beautiful people who do wonderful and good things for others. Seeing as today was a very positive day for me, I wanted to elaborate on some of the hopeful things I’ve seen others do for people and animals around them. I recall, once as a little girl, we were traveling and stopped at a rest stop. There was a tiny mouse hanging out by the bush near the parking lot and I had a left over apple piece. I proceeded to give it to the mouse and I still have that picture somewhere in our old photo albums, stored away with other memories. I have seen people stop by the side of the road to offer a homeless person a meal or some coffee. I have witnessed people rescue a broken animal that was near the end of its life and nurse it back to health. I have had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of kindness with people extended an open ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on during some of my darkest times. I, myself, have tried to extend compassion wherever possible by living life in the best way I know how. There is so much I have yet to learn, but it’s a process I am willing to try and tackle. I know I’ll never master it, but I’m going to try and get as close to perfection as possible. I want to pledge to speak to others with kindness and understanding. I hope to be the type of person one feels they can approach and talk to. 
I wish to be the human being that others admire for her generosity and inner beauty.
There is goodness everywhere on this earth if you only allow yourself to see it. There is beauty in the sky and trees and breeze. There is hope in each sunrise as a new day begins and each sunset as you have survived another day on this earth that doesn’t always treat us so kindly. There is passion in your endeavors, dreams and goals that you strive to accomplish and share with others. There is laughter in your eyes, smile and actions that people can see as they interact with you and get to know the personality that resonates from within. There is heartbreak deep in your soul that you may chose to share with those closest to you which have earned your trust. There is candor in your words, both spoken and unspoken, as actions speak louder than words. There is life in everything you do and all that you witness. Embrace this world for everything that it has to offer.
