YOU can COUNT on KINDNESS

This week’s blog posting is a little different and hopefully it will encourage you to see kindness in a new way. 
Let’s do a stocktake of kindness around us. Take a conscious moment in your day to count the number of kind words and actions, not that you do, but that others do to you. You will be surprised how many times in the day kindness happens to us as well as from us. 
A few personal examples to get you thinking. 
This morning an old friend of mine greeted me warmly. He isn’t well, but he went out of his way to ask me how I was doing. Later in the Raglan Library, a library assistant went out of her way to help me find a book, all with a smile and pleasant manner. A few minutes later a group of mates invited me over to join them in their cafe conversation. Ordering my coffee, I was 50c short. The barista said not to worry about it. In the space of an hour, 4 kind things happened to me. Start counting!

POINTS TO PONDER 
Kindness is intentional and does make a difference to our day. Kindness, little by little helps to ‘fill our bucket’ It changes us and others for the better.
Kindness encourages kindness. Be a conduit. Pass it on and see it grow.
Let people be kind to you. Don’t dismiss or trivialise kindness as people just doing their job or what they should be doing. Keep it simple and appreciate kindness in its many forms and contexts.

    Was told to do someone a favour without letting them know it was me did the favour. Good for my ego apparently

In Your Face

Sometimes being kind doesn’t seem to work and when this happens it can be confusing and hurtful. I recall such a time… Driving on a main arterial route in Hamilton I noticed ahead of me a man pushing his car. I pulled my car over to the side of the road and ran over to help. Placing my hands on the boot I pushed too. The car was on a slight uphill incline, so my help was surely going to make a difference.  You know that sense you have when something isn’t quite right with the world. Well, unexpectedly he curtly said “Get your hands off my car!” Startled, I  replied. “Excuse me?” Making sure I heard correctly he said in a more forceful voice. “I told you once. I don’t want your help. Go away!”  I backed away, bewildered. I couldn’t understand why he wanted to push his car by himself. I just wanted to do the right thing. To help him. POINTS to PONDER Sometimes our desire to help isn’t wanted or appreciated. Get over yourself if this happens.  We do not know what...

BELONGING

I’m reading a book ‘Belonging’ by Owen Eastwood (2021). Owen has Irish and Māori descendants. He has a wonderfully considered understanding of whakapapa (genealogy) which means the tracing of lines of inheritance from our ancestors/descendants - it is also about our links to the land (whenua) and our connections to people and our relationships with them. But what if we don’t belong for a time? In my career in education spanning 45 years, I’ve experienced a workplace where I was ostracised, maligned and sidelined. This has possibly happened to you. I was also micromanaged and bullied. Highly stressed and feeling a failure, Val would watch me leave for work and worry about my wellbeing. Not anymore. Without the unwavering support and encouragement of a number of colleagues, Val’s unconditional love and knowing that I was safe and secure with family and friends then I’m not sure where I would be today.  Today I belong. I believe in myself, my ideas and know I am worthy. I’m part of so...

BLAH de BLAH BLAH?

It may surprise you that I enjoy talking with people…  For many years I had a stutter and talking was a form of torture. Now I’m rarely too busy for a chat and a laugh (Making up for lost time perhaps). Val loves to have a chat too and I love the way she makes friends  with supermarket check-out staff and is unfailingly welcoming to people she meets.  One of our Raglan neighbours had ordered catering supplies. The bread company personnel had delivered their order and walked towards our home. Val and I were working in our garden, looked up and initiated a conversation with them. A few minutes of banter followed. Then, ‘out of the blue’ they offered us a free box of bread treats. Eh? They must have noticed our confused looks, so they said, “This is our way of thanking you for being kind to us.” We  accepted their kind offer. In a good way we had interrupted their busy day and in their own way they appreciated that.  I’m sure that some readers of my blog will think...
