Simple acts of kindness can make a world of a difference in a person's life and in a whole community.
I was grading some of my students work just a minute ago and one student wrote this simple reminder: Don't forget to smile. Wearing my heart on my sleeve is completely applicable to me. In all my 27 years of life I have never been able to hide my emotions or my state of being. To be so kindly reminded to smile was unexpected and a true act of kindness.
I am surrounded by this kindness that often seemed illusive from my life a few months ago. At work I am met with smiles upon entering a room or seeing a student's face.
How silly it may seem to desire these acts in whatever form they may come but they bring so much joy to my heart because they show what I have always known. We are not meant to be alone.
One kind word is all I need and I know that one kind word is what I must also give.
