Music Friday for Class Strugglers - In the spirit of the season ~~ newestbeginning

In the spirit of the holiday season, this is written with gratitude for all of the contributions you have made and continue to make to our little blog.  From the recommending of articles, to the research you have done, writing and participation in discussion, your contributions are much appreciated and add richness to the project.   

The holidays can be a difficult time for many of us, and we know not what trials others traverse.  One thing I do not take for granted is the kindness you have showered me with, despite whatever struggles are going on in your lives.  One thing is certain, we are stronger when we work together.

So in this spirit, I dedicate this thread to the kindness you have shown me.

Wishing peace and better days to come, Comrades!  Be well,

“You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.” ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

~~~

Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the flowers,

Kind deeds are the fruits.

Take care of your garden,

And keep out the weeds,

Fill it with sunshine;

Kind words and kind deeds.

~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.” ~~Joseph Joubert

How can we ease another’s pain

Their sorrows e’er dispel?

When they are sore depressed with gloom,

How can we break the spell,

And make their sad lives brighter seem,

By driving grief away?

‘Tis only loving kindness can.

Ah! love will find a way.

~~ Martha S. Lioppincott
