Week 8/52: The 52 Project

20140223-120139.jpg

We are at week 8 of The 52 project. Here is a photo of my 7 1/2-year-old g’daughter, D. She loves the camera, and it loves her. Were I a better photographer, I could better capture her incredible spirit. It is my hope that through my participation with The 52 Project, I will improve my photo taking skills.

Today, D. is dolled up in a dress and makeup that she bought at the Dollar Store. She is going to her Uncle’s birthday party, and although she usually doesn’t wear dresses, she choose to do so today. It’s not as though she dislikes wearing them, but her activities, like gardening, climbing trees, and active Girl Scout activities requires sturdier attire. This photograph finds D. taking a moment from playing a video game on the computer.

Tom Attwater, Dying of Cancer, Reads the Letter he Wrote to His Daughter Kelli

You might ask why I reblog posts that make me cry? Granted, with some of the posts, I cry out of some sadness, but the same video inspires me and brings happiness. There is so much in the world that can make you want to give up hope that things will get better. We have poverty, homelessness, hunger, strife, racial, sexual and other types of intolerance, a lack of compassion and caring and so much more. These posts give me hope and remind me of all the good that exists out there in the world. I firmly believe that the good significantly outweighs the bad, but we don’t hear about it enough. The bad news overtakes the good. I ❤️ The ‘Kindness Blog’ because it reminds me of the kindnesses — both big and little — that can change the world. I hope that you too will appreciate them. Blessings and be kind to others and more importantly, to yourself, Lydia

Watch How These People React to a Lonely Boy Sat Out in the Cold Without a Jacket

I cried tears of happiness throughout this video. It is great to know that there are so many caring and compassionate people in this world. I’d like to think that I’d do the same. I hope that you appreciate it as well.

Blessings, Lydia

What do people do when they see a child sitting outside who is obviously feeling the cold?

To find out, a hidden camera was put in place and young Johannes sat down at a bus stop…

Would you give your jacket to Johannes?
