It takes so little to make people happy. Just a touch, If we know how to give it, just a word fitly spoken, a slight readjustment of some bolt or pin or bearing in the delicate machinery of a soul.

About the image: Taken the morning of August 21, 2011. The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly reminded me of a ballerina. I used a Kim Klassen texture on this one.
About the quote: We can change someone's day and yes, I believe, their entire life, by speaking kind words. And when you speak kind words, it changes your life as well.
OH, I miss these lovelies!

ReplyDeleteThe butterfly does look like a ballerina standing on tip toes! So pretty dancing atop the bachelors button(cornflower).

ReplyDeleteHaving been on the receiving end of kind words recently (in my musical endeavours), I attest to the truth of this quote, kind words can indeed change the lives of both giver and receiver.
I'm demonstrating hand massage at a "Press the Pause Button before the Christmas Rush" workshop next Sunday, and would love to use this quote, if it's ok with you, Kerri.
