This month here at the Wild YAMster's bloggy, you are going to be regaled with words related to feelings and happenings of the last twelve months. Oh yes, you know of what I talk. This is to be the ALPHABET OF AAARRGFIZZZ... We've all had to deal with it. This will be a reflection purely from my point of view. You don't necessarily have to agree with what I say; just appreciate where it's coming from. Normal service will resume on May Day. (By which time I may be yelling that down the ether phone loud and repetitively!)

There is really only one word that stuck in my head when considering these posts.
Kindness.
Throughout life, but surely in these recent times, kindness has really stuck out when present... or is it that when one is in dire straits, kindnesses that were already present are simply more felt and appreciated?
For me, kindness was found from the father's neighbours, from my siblings, even from the lovely grocery delivery drivers. However, it doesn't have to be in a 'real life' presence. Some of the most moving and poignant kindness I felt as the year got heavier has been through here - this blog. The connection I have with my regular readers is really rather profound - proven by the number of you with whom I have the 'behind the scenes' email experience.
That's all I have to say today.
See
you tomorrow for the ongoing saga. Please be aware that there is more I amAZing
over at
And that is one thing that is SO easy to do. And you are right, Kindness personifies Love.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, dear Yam, kindness flows to a kind person.
ReplyDeleteI always try to be kind.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Small random acts of kindness has become a recitation around here - try for one every day. It surprises people.
ReplyDeleteFurrings and purrings Mr T
The more I see of life, the more important I see kindness is.
ReplyDeleteKindness makes the world a much better place.
ReplyDeleteKindness. Yes. Agree.
ReplyDeleteKlem (another K word, meaning hug)
Hi Yam - absolutely ... it is so easy to be thoughtful and thus kind ... think before we speak, and offer to help - as well as smile and thank people. So so agree - excellent K - all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteLove that: capital "Ell" Love. Total agreement. Thank you for always being kind.
ReplyDeleteKindness is so disarming and powerful.
ReplyDeleteso true, so true! Kindness as at times put me in tears and it alwasy makes me feel better. in fact i feel better when I treat others with extra kindness than when someone gives it to me. I believe all of the world caught in thise pandemic together needs as much kindness as we can get. I see mara provided a new word, Klem, meaning hug. love it..
ReplyDeleteKudos YAM...on your K post. Kindness is easy to do from a smile or just a good morning...it can change a person's day. Our blogging pals and email pals are a blessing each day especially this past year
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
I've always believed in kindness. Without it, life is just not as good.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
Love the Ks today! This series is fun. It is amazing how much things in Scotland are so similar to Canada! We hope you have a marvellously Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteAlways have to have kindness.
ReplyDeleteKindness makes the world go 'round...especially during the past year or so!
ReplyDeleteHere's to more kindness in the world.
ReplyDeleteIs there a connection between kin and kindness I wonder - sort of is, even if not in the origins of the words.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
DeleteEtymologically there is no connection - but there is no reason that we cannot think of the fact that we tend to be softer and more thougtful to our kin that when we express that more widely it becomes kindness (which originates from olde English with a meaning of 'nation' or 'good action'...)

It's so easy to be kind!
ReplyDeleteWe sure know the world can always use a little more kindness in it.
ReplyDeleteKindness kindles kinship. namaste, janice xx
