Kindness, One of the Greatest Gifts of All, and It's FREEEEEE!

Last week I had coffee with one of those friends that well, quite frankly I just can't get enough of.  After I left our walking/coffee date I felt inspired, fired up and just plain wonderful. She gave me the gift of her time and her kindness touched my heart more than she will ever know. (Or ever believe, love you Laura.) Good friends have a way of doing that.

Since then, I keep thinking of those simple acts of kindness that really don't cost anything but can change the course of someone's day, inspire someone to do great things and even touch your own heart at the same time. Simple acts. Like a hand written note, cookies for a sweet neighbor (even the not so sweet ones), or an offer to help someone at the grocery store. 

So Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I don't know about you but anything to do with hearts, love and glitter make me smile. Add a little kindness, some gentleness and patience and you've got yourself the making of a wonderful day. How are you going to make a difference this Valentine's? Is there someone who makes your grocery shopping a little extra special? (You know I love my Fresh and Easy!) When was the last time you did one of your children's chores and left a love note for them on their pillow? (Haven't done it yet, but stay tuned, I just may.) Just thinking...

Take a moment to show them some kindness...it's easy.
