Everyday someone offers you a kindness. Kindness comes in many forms- someone one thinks of you and remembers you. Someone offers you a Chiclet of gum or holds the elevator door. Someone buys cheesecake for the whole team. Maybe it is simply a smile of understanding at the checkout line. Someone pauses to let you cross the street in a line of heavy traffic. Someone remembers to pay their bills on time or pays for your lunch. Someone notices you and you see them acknowledge you as another human being. They call you up. They offer to help without you having to ask. Kindness originates from an ocean of abundance that we take for granted. The simplest kindness is the favor of another’s company-the grandpa who sits freezing outside the little house for an hour in the snow while the grandson prepares imaginary steaks and vegetables. Kindness is a sharing of love – easily unnoticed, easily unacknowledged and easily forgotten at the first indication of some unkindness. We are quick to add tallies of unkindness to our memory banks but slow to create a memory book of the kindness we have been given each and every day. Today, calculate the number of kindnesses you receive and multiply that by the number of days you have lived. Awesome! Those little inoculations of love  sustain each and every one of us. The kindness we share  merely shadows the kindness of the master gardener – the one who provides our each and every breath. Have a great day! May kindness find you and may you find kindness wherever you look.
