good words for the new year

The book Wonder might just need to be on my yearly reading list. 

Here are a few quotes to start off the year from this magical book 

(and some fun pictures from our snowy day on New Year's Eve!): 

“If every person in this room made it a rule that wherever you are, whenever you can, you will try to act a little kinder than is necessary - the world really would be a better place. And if you do this, if you act just a little kinder than is necessary, someone else, somewhere, someday, may recognize in you, in every single one of you, the face of God.” 

― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING

RIGHT OR BEING KIND, CHOOSE KIND.” 

― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

“Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle”

 

 ― J.M. Barrie quoted in Wonder
