No one.
Not one of you, answered : Where did the month of May 2025 disappear to?
Translation: When you publish a Post, you have got to begin somewhere somehow. I have now begun!

Below is one of our very favorite all time “Thoughts”.
Dale Carnegie is the author of the above kind words.
This is absolutely true for me. Many, MANY, times people, sometimes total strangers I will never see again, have said very kind words to me, NOT REALIZING how very VERY much they have meant to me years later. Sometimes (far too often I am afraid) I have forgotten special and very kind words spoken to me BUT I have NOT forgotten the person who said them.
And there have been times that I have said kind or special words to someone, looking into their eyes, I could tell how much my taking the time and going to the effort to speak words of encouragement or praise have meant to them.
Voila!
Here comes NATIONAL TODAY for June the 1st!
Say Something Nice Day is observed on June 1 each year.
There’s an old adage that says: People may not remember what you do, but they’ll certainly remember how you made them feel.
At no time is that more true than on this holiday which is about lifting your co-workers, family members, acquaintances, even foes, with genuine kind words — being a “lifter,” and seeing how much healthier and happier you feel in the process. It takes discipline. In some cases, you may feel that negative beliefs you have about certain others are most definitely based on truthful reality. The challenge of National Say Something Nice Day is to put those beliefs aside — no matter how warranted you feel they are — and find something you really appreciate in a given person. That is, it’s not about syrupy false compliments. If you exercise your mind, you can find something positive about any of the people you come across today. Maybe you like the hairstyle of the cop who just wrote you a ticket. Maybe you admire the management style of the co-worker that got the promotion you were passed up for. Look within yourself for the positive, and it will come back to you tenfold.
To Feel Good? Do Good!
God Rest Your Soul Jerry Berkley, Cleveland, Ohio, who gave us the above five magic words at the King School Meeting in early October, 1994, in Akron, Ohio.
On July 31, 2011, the president and CEO of the Charleston, South Carolina Speech and Hearing Center, Mitchell Carnell, published a short Amazon book called “Say Something Nice: Be a Lifter!” The book was, and is really about the health benefits YOU receive when YOU lift others up instead of tearing them down. Carnell, who is also the author of the Kindle books “Speaking in Church Made Simple” and “Random Acts of Kindness,” comes from a background of knowing the effects of positive words and communication. His column on business communication ran for 14 years in the “Charleston Dispatch & Courier’s Business Review.”
This is a “Feel Good” Post so we will leave it right here.

Kind words were rendered to me just yesterday. Sadly we buried little Buck, our mini aussie on Friday. His respiratory system just couldn’t handle life any longer, especially with Canadian fire smoke which moved in on us causing distress for both he and I. We knew he could suffer no longer and had the assistance of our caring vet to let him cross the bridge. After Love and Samson visited with his body for a bit, we went and buried our little guy at the new ranch, The Garden. He and Love adored running the endless pasture just dreaming of their own herd.
Well, as we covered him with such beautiful rocks we have there, I texted my good friend at the barn with a picture. She texted right back and said she’d been thinking of us that very minute while gathering and getting rocks out of the arena (which can severely damage horse hooves). She said she’d been thinking of Buck’s journey to the spirit world and to the rainbow bridge where we would meet him again.
Kind words were felt deeply.
You are right though, so often we are the receiver of kind words, and while we may not remember those specific words, we’ll remember how we felt when received (and therefore recall the giver).
May your day be peaceful, free of worry and full of beauty.
Hugs,
Kit
Hi Kit. We are so sorry to hear about Buck. Ah the cycles of life itself. Kit we were not aware of little Buck your mini Aussie. Love! Yes Oh Yes, Love along with your cats. Thanks for sharing your remembrances of Buck with all of us Kit. And in the final analysis, it comes down to this: To Feel Good? DO Good! Cap and Patti
Dear Cap and Patti, I want to take a moment to thank you both for all YOUR kind words of love, encouragement and prayers … kind words are always powerful!
May your day be filled with love and joy … many blessings to you both!
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
How nice Ginny. How very, VERY, nice. Thank you. As the Post says: Look within yourself for the positive, and it will come back to you tenfold! Cap and Patti
I think no one commented on it being the end of May because we’re all in shock.
An excellent, and a vey accurate comment, Gullible. Thanks. Cap and Patti
