The Kindness of You

"I must write it all out, at any cost.  Writing is thinking.  It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living."
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh
 

Tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation.  This blog began as part of my family's summer project on kindness.  My goal was that each day, we would do something kind for someone and reflect on it.  And then a few days into it, after encouraging another friend to blog about her summer project, I decided to begin writing this blog, which has evolved into reflections and musings on kindness. 

I have enjoyed writing this blog tremendously -- more than I could have imagined.  It has been an outlet for my desire to write, for my always-whirring brain...  It has been a wonderful opportunity for reflection, growth and gratitude.  And it has been a great way to connect with you.   

For me, there is a sense of accomplishment once I write something -- there, it is done.  But when you read it and let me know that you have, that is an added bonus.  I love your comments, your ideas for blog topics, your reflections on your own experiences.  And, as you know, so much of what you have shared has ended up in my posts.

I truly want you to know how very much I appreciate your reading what I write and your generosity in thoughtfully responding.  Those kindnesses have impacted me more than you can imagine.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I believe that this Adventures in Kindness will continue, although I haven't figured out yet if I will write every day or maybe a few times a week.  We'll see, but before the summer ends, I want to thank you for joining me on this adventure.
