I was sitting in a favorite Thai restaurant when I overheard something wonderful from a table close by me. There were around 6-7 people sitting at this round table enjoying lunch as they were saying goodbye to a woman, a co-worker. After their meal, each one around the table shared a word and its meaning, which described what this woman meant to them. Beautiful words like generous, creative, enthusiastic were shared. It was quite moving. It was a simple yet powerful gift. The woman was clearly honored by these words.

I wonder, how often do we express kind words to one another? It is simple. It is powerful.
