Kindness

Have you experienced lately how offering a little kindness can refresh your very soul? All around you are opportunities to do just that.

Kindness is its own reason. Kindness is its own reward.

Are you weary from all the anxiety, frustration, worry, anger and confusion that seem to continually build up within your life? A little kindness can quickly help to melt all that away.

You can tell people all day long that you really care, and many will still not believe you. Yet give some genuine kindness on a regular basis and you won't have to tell them anything; they'll know.

Are you strong enough and confident enough to give of yourself out of pure kindness? Just do it, and you'll discover that you are indeed.

There can never be too much kindness in the world. Create some more today, and find real joy in its warm glow.

When someone is kind to me, especially at a time when I really need it, it's like getting a bouquet of fresh flowers and gives me such a lift.

It's so easy to be kind, but it's easy to forget sometimes too.

Just for today I will try to spread a little kindness around to anyone who looks like they could use it.

Hugs
