Hello!

Today is MINDFUL MONDAY
I’m glad you’ve chosen to take daily steps toward becoming a happier, healthier, more positive YOU!

This week, we are working toward strengthening
the principle or quality of COMPASSION.

Here are some great quotes about compassion.

"Compassion is not religious business, it is human business; it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability; it is essential for human survival." --Dalai Lama

The dew of compassion is a tear. –Lord Byron

Needed are eyes to see the pitiable plight, ears to hear the silent pleadings of a broken heart; yes, and a soul filled with compassion. . .
--Thomas S. Monson
