Kindness. It’s funny how you can walk through one day from the moment your eyes pop in a mutilated moon. You just can’t get it right. You feel like screaming hiding and chopping off the heads of those you find dear. Wow get that Lady some coffee!!!
But then the smallest thing can happen, something you wouldn’t think would make a difference and Whalla! Good Mood times a coming. I personally try to be in good spirits. I try not to allow myself to be effected by the infectious lameness that is a lot of surly jaded people. Walking through life in their compartmentalized world. I’m not perfect, it happens.
But what I love is when you can make someone who you can tell by not even knowing them that you’ve changed their day. You by being nice made a difference. That is a gift to that otherwise upset person.
I was at Costco today and upon entering the line I noticed a Lady standing with one item in her hand. She looked bothered, hot, kinda POed. One thing that was really obviously annoying to her was my kids but haha (I’m there with her. They can be that.) So I thought I’ll throw her a bone and let her in front of us. Man !!! What a change! I might as well just told her she won a prize!! Needless to say she was happy and tried to tip me?! Strange because this isn’t the first time this has happened. I know it, weird….
A small act of kindness and she was all over the place with “Thank yous” and now my kids were SO cute… Good stuff.
I believe that it takes so much more effort, just as a frown takes more muscles to be sad than to be happy and kind. I love to make people smile. I love making someone happy. It’s great.
On her way out she had a different demeanor and a skip in her step. Love it.
Moral of this story is: Practice Random Kindness who knows who or what you could affect!!

I agree. Be kind to others, even if they aren't kind to you. It can make a huge difference in someone's day.
