Be Kind to One Another, She Said

You, like me, are probably hesitant to drive these days. People are in rush, distracted, often rude, cutting you off, maybe even extending a finger salute as they do.

What to do?

Well, take a deep breath maybe, slow down, and try to change the tone of life around you.

People are good, mostly. And that chestnut of goodness comes out at the holiday season. Lights, action, and definitely—camera.

We all have that light of good will in us all year round, we just keep it under a bushel basket.

What if we revealed it unabashedly all year round.

It’s kind of like that random act of kindness many of us practiced but let fade after so much TV publicity. What if we made it part of our lives, daily? Would we make a difference in the tone of life?

Kindness is infectious, I can attest to that. It’s making a habit of offering kindness, not in return for kindness, but just to offer it unexpectedly.

Kindness does make a difference, your act of kindness just might ignite that chestnut in another, and another. It just might make daily life so much better, one gesture at a time, for others and ourselves.
