Being “ Crazy-Good ” … ( 03 / 05 / 2012 )
There ’ s so much Wisdom to be gleaned from so many children ’ s books , and one of my all-time favorites contains the adventures of Winnie the Pooh . Ok , most of the characters therein have pretty big hang-ups — most of them are pretty “ dysfunctional ”. And yet through it all there is Pooh , gentle and considerate and Caring .
And maybe that is the greatest Wisdom of all : that if a “ bear of little brain ” can “ get it ” — if Pooh can continue to be Kind to the folks in his life who are aggressive ( Tigger ), wimpy ( Piglet ), obsessively uptight ( Rabbit ), depressingly negative ( Eyeore ) and downright delusional ( Christopher Robin ), maybe we can too …
So what do you say ? … Go be “ crazy Kind ” to someone today !
“ Love is taking a few steps backward — maybe even a few more than a few — to give way to the Happiness of the person you Love … Just because an animal is large ( or mean or greedy or dishonest ) doesn ’ t mean he doesn ’ t want Kindness … A little consideration , a little thought for others , really does make all the difference … You can ’ t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you . You have to go to them sometimes .” ~ inspired by A . A . Milne
