Black & White Wednesday ~ Giving ~ Day 9




"I have learned silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind;
yet, strange,
I am ungrateful to those teachers."
Khalil Gibran



In those
curl-up-want-to-fade-away-and-shut-out-the-world
moments
I choose to be a learner.
I choose to seek understanding.
I choose breath and renewal and personal growth
over
a clenched jaw, exhaustion or stubbornness of any kind.
Most of all,
today and always,
I choose kindness.



From this morning's journal:

Give Away: Today I give away overreaction. 

Give Access: Today I give access to reason.

Give Thanks: Today I give thanks for the power that lives in me {in each of us} to choose silence, toleration, kindness and love over hate.
