Kindness Matters

I have this wooden sign at the beach that says, "Kindness Matters."


It really does, doesn't it? 

It seems so obvious and few would probably disagree that it doesn't matter.

But, I am a firm believer in the " everyone has a story" rule and sometimes we are not aware at all that our little kindnesses can be monumental to someone else. 

It is never more clear than when YOU are the person to which someone has been kind to. Maybe it's just opening a door or saying something you may have needed to hear because you were feeling icky about yourself that day. 

Or maybe it's something bigger. Whatever it is, it always feels good to show kindness or have someone show it towards you.

It all matters. 

Grateful,
DD

  1. I smiled and said hello to someone at the Piggly Wiggly yesterday morning, which I often do (smiling, not the Piggly), but this time the woman said “Thank you for the smile - I needed it”. If that doesn’t underscore the lesson, I don’t know what will!
