Be kind…the moments I regret the most are the ones I could have been kinder.”  Barbara Bush

 

With the passing of Barbara Bush, many of her quotes have hit social media.  It seems to me, that being in the public eye seemed to bring out the best of Barbara Bush. Reading these quotes have restored some of my faith in womankind.  She was a true beacon of light. With the passing from life to death comes wisdom.  We can all learn from those that were born before us. Today, I welcome our guest blogger, Cindy Edge to discuss her insights.

“I have had the privilege as a professional nurse to work with oncology (cancer) and hospice patients.  They often have insights and perspectives about life and death that have been beacons for my own life.  As these patients and their family and friends deal with loss and grief, the patient’s themselves become the teachers.  I have intently listened to their stories, their hopes, dreams and regrets. In listening to their stories, I have learned not to fear death.  But more importantly, these rare insights have taught me how to live.  I know with certainty that no small act of kindness is wasted, and can in fact make a huge difference.  I would encourage you to look for opportunities to do small random acts of kindness in everyday life.  The impact may be life-changing.”
