Laura Bock
Dear Rotarians,The virtue for reflection this week is Kindness.Kindness is caring that springs from compassion. We have genuine concern for the welfare of others. We are warm, friendly and ready to help. We listen for the needs beneath the words. We give tender attention in simple ways that bring others happiness. Kindness is the daily bread of love. When we feel angry, we resist the temptation to be cruel. We balance honesty with tact. We are good stewards of the earth and all living things. We remember to be kind to ourselves. When we fill our own cup, our kindness naturally overflows to others.In Rotary we strive to follow our motto "Service Above Self". Reading the virtue of kindness is like reading step by step directions on how to give service above self. Simple acts can lead to big impact!Until we meet again, serve with all your heart!Sincerely,Laura Bock
