A global pandemic, economic chaos, and discord in society can certainly bring out the best and not the best in people. 

As a nurse caring for patients, I try to be positive and upbeat. 

I feel down and sad sometimes just like all of us during difficult times, but one thing that always makes me feel better is doing an act of kindness for someone. 

It doesn’t cost any money and barely any effort, but you could just make someone’s day better with some kindness. 

I made a list of some easy examples of everyday kindness to try out, hopefully they are ones you are already doing!

Here They Are:
–  A kind word
–  Refrain from saying an unkind word
–  Hold the door open for someone
–  Say thank you for gratitude and kindness
–  Make someone laugh or smile
–  Have patience
–  Give a compliment
–  Send a note to a friend or relative that is isolated due to COVID-19
–  Spend time just talking to your loved ones without your phone or TV on
–  Tell your friends and family that you love them
–  Do a chore or task without being asked to
–  Leave an anonymous and positive affirmation note

Marc and I have noticed that life story writing can be an act of kindness, giving an opportunity to document a lifetime of kindness. Assisting a loved one write their story is an amazing act of kindness.

We have heard many wonderful stories from our customers that have given us hope and inspiration. 

Don’t forget to be kind, the world needs it – especially now.

Peace to you and yours.
