World Kindness Day

Thanks to social media we all know when different days are. We know what days to remember, what days to dress up and other days that are important. However, I don't think this should be a day. Why can't we do our best to be kind every day? There is so much horror, famine and disease in the world, a little bit of kindness can go a long way.

What does kindness mean to you?

I think it means a smile, for someone looking down.

A simple hello, to someone standing alone.

Simple things go a long way.

Grand gestures are fabulous, but sometimes it's the simplest of things that mean so much more.

Yesterday, and today, I spoke to my new neighbour. Nothing major, just a greeting and small talk. Being new to the street, I'm hoping that made her feel less nervous about her new start.

I like to give people time. Has it bitten me on the bum? Yes, more than once! It won't stop me though, because I still like to believe there's more good, than bad, in this world.

So smile at someone, before the day is over.

You might make someones day.
