To me, kindness is a chosen lifestyle. In my classroom, I tell my_________that every day they are offered a choice. They can’t choose what happens to them, but they can choose how they_________to it. Kindness is a _________ . And it is a lifestyle. It isn’t something that we just choose once in a while---it is a(n) _________to live our lives.

My father was hospitalized with leukemia(白血病) when I was in college. He didn’t choose the cancer. _________, he chose how to react to it. To this day, seventeen years later, the nurses _________write my mother letters. The _________? It was because of my father’s kindness to others even when he was _________against the disease.

Living the kindness lifestyle __________ every day, every opportunity. As a high school teacher, I see __________ everywhere. In the hallways, in the lunchroom, in the locker room, __________ words and gossip fill the air. So I started a positive gossip __________is called “third party compliments(赞美)”. The idea is that you talk about people behind their backs, but do it in a__________way. In that way, the gossip that gets back to students makes their day instead of getting them down.

Our kindness lifestyle leaves a footprint on others, and let us be the movers and kindness-makers who __________ a better, more beautiful world.

At an airport I overheard a father and a daughter in their last moments together. It had announced her plane’s _________ and standing near the door, he said to his daughter. “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said. “Daddy, our life together has been _________ enough. Your love is all I _________ needed. I wish you enough, too? Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left.

He walked over toward the window where I _________. I could see he wanted to cry. I tried not to disturb his privacy (隐私), but he _________ me in by asking. “Did you ever say good-bye to someone you love, knowing it would be forever?” “Yes. I have,” I _________. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and _________ for all my Dad had done for me. After thirty seconds of silence. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a/an _________ good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. The reality is that her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say. ‘I wish you enough’ May I ask what that means?” He began to _________.

“That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment and __________ as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled ever more. “When we said I wish you enough, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to __________ them”, he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude __________. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much __________. I wish you enough gain to __________ your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you have. I wish enough Hellos to get you through the __________ “Good-bye.” He then began to sob and walked away.
