Goodness

Do good without keeping score.

It's easy to keep score in relationships. I did this, so you owe me that. I called last time, so it's your turn.

But love and goodness shrink when they're counted.

Do good because it's good. Help because you can. Give because it's who you want to be.

Leave the scoreboard blank. Let wildflowers grow around it.
