Kindness
It's easier than you think
Just a smile, a kind word
To pick up someone on their way
Can change their life forever

What could kindness have done
At Columbine High?
What would have happened
If someone would have been kind...
If those boys would have known
That someone cared?

What did kindness do
One lonely day
At one little school
When someone smiled at a depressed girl
And made her decide
That life was worth living?

Do you want to see what kindness can do?

Kindness...
It's easier than you think

Here's the challenge:
Be kind to at least one person a day...

Kind-hearted Little LoveBug~
Easiest challenge I've ever been asked
to meet !  
Yeah .... this tender heart is just a
softie for that kindness stuff.
Make you a deal ... tomorrow, I'll do double !  
What a sweetie you are.
More wonderful teens out there that
don't get the recognition they deserve ...
and YOU'RE ONE OF THEM !
I just love you to pieces !

LoveBug, a very special challenge, it should be possible.


Well did you get your dream beetle yet?
Nice site, but no pic of the Ladybug.
