There’s so much Wisdom to be gleaned from 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 …

What do you say?

Let’s all go be “crazy Kind” to someone today!

“Love is taking a few steps backward — maybe even more — to give way to the happiness of the person you Love … Just because an animal is large [or mean or greedy or dishonest], it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness … A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes 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.” ~ Winnie the Pooh
