A Small Act Of Kindness

[Ann]

A small act of kindness can make a big difference. For when kindness is given, it inspires and enables even more kindness.

You will cross paths today with someone who desperately needs to receive a little kindness. Kindness costs you nothing, and with it you can give so much.

Even when it seems that your kindness is not appreciated, that kindness does indeed make a difference. Even if your kindness is not acknowledged, it is noticed, and over time can soften the hardest hearts.

There is a special joy that comes when you do something just to be kind. Let go of your concern about what's in it for you, and experience how truly good it feels.

Kindness can be so wonderfully refreshing. The world remembers and respects those who offer it on a regular basis.

It's easy to give a little kindness. It's immensely powerful when you do it over and over again.

Thanks Ann.

Happened to me three times today.

Still in awe of who HP put in my path.

Amazing and oh so humbling.

Thanks again. I needed to hear it.

Love,

It's so easy to just give a smile, help a senior, tell someone they are special, be patient in lineups, talk to the lonely, play with a child, offer a helping hand, or just be there for someone who needs a friend.

Small gestures can bring light into a dark day, taking a moment to just do one small act of kindness might change a life.

Just for today I will try to do small acts of kindness in gratitude for all the kindness that has been given me over the years.
