"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness." ~Seneca
Roman Philosopher
I don't think people realize how much power they have. What you think is the smallest most insignificant gesture can be huge to someone else.
Last week I wrote "I Love You" on a coffee cup shaped post-it note and stuck it to the inside of my husbands lunch bag. He called that afternoon to say that it made his day. It took me all of two seconds to do it and it but it meant the world to him.
Something as simple as smiling at someone can brighten their day.
If you think someone looks nice tell them. Watch their reaction.
Even if people don't tell you it matters, it does. I know because I have been deeply touched by such small gestures. I try to always thank people for their kindness, but it is not always possible.
People have the power to help others everyday and often do it without even knowing. Can you imagine if we made a conscious effort everyday to be kind to someone else. If you say or do something nice to one different person a day just imagine how many lives you'll touch in a life time.
As a writer, I am always look for opportunities. I am not always successful. I do have the opportunity everyday to be kind to someone. At last something I can be successful at and feel good about. I am not going to pass this up. It is too easy.
I also want to take the time to say thank you to Hope for making me feel so good today. Sorry I made you wait for the art work.
