Today is World Kindness Day. I'm honoring it on this Throwback Thursday by sharing a post from 2013 that focuses on kindness. I hope it inspires you toward doing random acts of kindness today... and every day.
Kindness. It goes a long way.
Today, as I sit at a local coffee shop, I
smile as I observe the kindness people extend to strangers. Rushing to
open a door for someone on crutches; complimenting someone on a brightly
colored outfit; helping a mom struggling to carry a baby and a high
chair. Random acts of kindness. It's not just a catch phrase. For some,
it's a way of life.
Someone did something extraordinarily
kind for me this past weekend. It was anonymous, so I cannot thank
him/her, but it touched me deeply. And the thing is, we all have the
power to change someone's day/week/month/year/LIFE. Sometimes it is
through simple things, and other times it's a bigger deal. Sometimes it
is with our words, and other times with our finances.
However you approach the act of showing kindness, I encourage you to do more. We live in a world where people need both big and small gifts to help them along the journey. Be a vessel of change, one act of kindness at a time.
