The Lexicon Notebook of Kindness 

Do you remember that time when almost every child had that special notebook- the Lexicon with all (the most important) questions on the first page that every child had to answer from heart. It was a great week- the one to keep the Lexicon notebook and ponder on the very own answers and answer from heart the "general" questions like - Your full name?  Your age? Your family members?; brothers , sisters?

Best friends and why?

Favorite books and why?...

 Write your favourite quote :..

Your favorite song and why? -please write here the refrain...lalala

Your favourite film and artists....and why; favourite games...favourite season and why ?....Every question had - "and why?"; only to make sure we can get to the core of all the things.

And when we filled the pages with the answers,we had to say why:{ My favourite book is the " East of Eden" as it explains life at it`s very essence and ...} 

The child who would hold the Lexicon notebook will read the answers of the previous one and will get to know them much better- their likes and dislikes, their favs and hopes and ...and may even sing the refrain the next day to make them smile if they are feeling down. Surely may say a childish stupid joke about their brother who wronged them in the morning. 

Overall - the Lexicon notebook was like the notebook of the hearts 

We- the old times children, used to spend hours even days with the pages,

going deep in the mind and the soul of our friends. Feeling  them closer, understanding them better and supporting them when they need us. And so did they -for us.

The Lexicon pages were our sacred paper guide to the unconsidered natural kids kindness when we were never told how and why to be kind. We and we alone were finding our road to our kinder selves and the understanding of our friends personalities even for a life time. 

There was something beautiful in every handwriting; a little flower next to the letter R or a smiley face next to something stupid like " I like Ivette because she is smiling at me every morning when the school bell rings" .... or " M+R=Love 

If you never had a Lexicon notebook may be NOW is the time to make one.

 Call on all your friends and friends to be: surprise them with a smileand a page of questions

 Tadaaaaa !!!

The new Lexicon Notebook  ( forget about  the facebook) . No, dont ask me why. I just want to keep a page or two of You! You, that will not disappear if not backed up;  the keyboards do not hold the gentle curves, the feelings and the smiles of your handwriting.

 And I will understand you better even 50 years from now and remind you who you were when you wrote on the pages of the old Lexicon notebook.... and remind you of how our kindness was born .
