Out of the mouths of babes - and so self-satisfied. Great.

With all of the hate and craziness going on these days...this gives me hope for the future.

Kindness Personified (Reach Out Here)

A second-grade student is going viral for his act of kindness towards his fellow classmate on their first day of school in Wichita, Kan.

When eight-year-old Christian Moore saw his peer, Connor Crites, crying, he walked over, took his hand, and lead him into Minneha Elementary School for their first day of school on Aug. 14.

What Christian didn't know is that Connor is autistic and that his small gesture helped him handle a very overwhelming situation.

"I saw him on the ground with Connor as Connor was crying in the corner, and he was consoling him,” Courtney Moore, Christian's mother, told KAKE. “[Christian] grabs his hand and walks him to the front door. We waited until the bell rang and he walked him inside of the school. The rest is history. They have an inseparable bond."

But when I see a story like this, of a young person willing to stand up and take abuse from the usual bullies and then to be recognized for his bravery...it makes me proud to be an American.

Homemade U of Tennessee T-Shirt (Poke Here)

He was bullied for his homemade University of Tennessee T-shirt.

A Florida student obsessed with the University of Tennessee wanted to represent the Volunteers during his elementary school's "College Colors Day," but didn't own any of their apparel -- so he took the matter into his own hands.

Laura Snyder, his teacher at Altamonte Elementary School in Altamonte Springs, says he drew a "U.T.", the university's logo, on paper and pinned it to an orange t-shirt.

"When the day finally arrived, he was SO EXCITED to show me his shirt," Snyder wrote Wednesday on Facebook. "I was impressed that he took it one step further to make his own label."

But by lunch time, the spirited Vols fan was in tears.

"Some girls at the lunch table next to his (who didn't even participate in college colors day) had made fun of his sign that he had attached to his shirt.

He was DEVASTATED," said Snyder.


Good overcame evil though and...

The school just made it an official design

I'm a fan now!

This is indeed good news and probably one of the most publicized and shared things in the past couple of weeks on Television news shows on all channels and in social media where it has gone viral. It makes me smile every time I see it again, like now.

It makes all of us happy when good conquers meanness and pettiness and nastiness.

Here's one I saw today...that gave me the idea.

What a great idea for a thread!
The first video you posted gave me goose bumps (in a good way).

Your cousin from Sweden should be complimented on his taste - that was a beautiful message.

Steve Jobs dies a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, and here are some of his last words...

“In other eyes, my life is the essence of success, but aside from work, I have a little joy. And in the end, wealth is just a fact of life to which I am accustomed.”

“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that can not be found when it is lost – “LIFE”. ❤️

Treat yourself well, and cherish others. As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 – both of which show the same time. Whether we carry a purse worth $30 or $300 – the amount of money in the wallets are the same. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $30,000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 – the “stroller” will be the same. If the house we live in is 300 square meters, or 3000 square meters – the loneliness is the same.”

“Your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Whether you’re flying first class, or economy class – if the plane crashes, you crash with it.”

So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to – this is true happiness!

Five Undeniable Facts

1️⃣ Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. – So when they grow up they will know the
value of things, not the price.

2️⃣ Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food.

3️⃣ Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he has 100 reasons to give up. He will always find one reason to hold on.

4️⃣ There is a big difference between being human and human being.

5️⃣ If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – go together.

And in conclusion...

The six best doctors in the world:

1️⃣ Sunlight
2️⃣ Rest
3️⃣ Exercise
4️⃣ Diet
5️⃣ Self-confidence
6️⃣ Friends

Keep them in all stages of life and enjoy a healthy life.

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...

Treat yourself well. Cherish others.

“Love the people God sent you, one day He’ll need them back.”

Revisiting this thread from its inception has given me another case of warm fuzzies.

Thank you, Cold!

People are so smart who post on here. Many have a sense of people and how they really feel.

It is very hard to pull the wool over their eyes no matter what is said and how it's said.

There are so many good, kind, hard working and thinking people who live here in The Villages.

They can see the gist of things and the motives for things.
