Kindness

                        



I think about being kind A LOT. Just today an author I like wrote a piece about the depressing state of the world and a stranger's random act of kindness that restored her faith in humanity. Being kind is so easy. It is important. It is free. A smile, a nice word, a gesture, a helping hand. Free!

Brandon from Humans of NY used to ask people: "If you could say one thing to a large group of people what would you say?" I would tell them to always be a little kinder than necessary (quote by Sir James Matthew Barrie). And this:

                                                      

Kindness can make someone's day just a little brighter when they really need it. So just be kind. I have been there. I've had bad days, dark, sad days. And I have met angels, strangers who brightened up my day by saying something nice and memorable. I have also had friends who did extremely nice things for me when I was in need and I will never forget that. This is what you remember. The kindnesses. They make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I want to be remembered as someone who made people feel like that, too. So I try my hardest to be kind. To teach my kids how to treat our fellow humans.

So


                                                  
And
                                                      
Because

                                              .

Please and Thank you.
The End.
