Kindness

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” -Mark Twain

K is for Kindness

Not sure if kindness is an actual emotion but I do know that the act of kindness can bring about a multitude of emotions in both the giver and receiver. Since I am having a hard time finding an actual emotion that starts with the letter “K” I’m sticking with kindness. Being kind means doing something nice for someone. Acts of kindness can be complimenting a stranger, buying a homeless person a meal, leaving a kind note for a friend or family member, or holding a door open for an elderly person. There is an abundance of ways you can show kindness and even the smallest act of kindness can help heal a broken heart, make someone feel valued, and generate trust. Kindness is an action in which you choose to either express or you don’t. It is also something that is rarely practiced. I believe that being a genuinely kind person says a lot about a person’s character.

Also known as Ms57Classic I came into this world on a summer morning on July 22, 1957. Newborn babies usually do not cry real tears at birth because their tear ducts have not formed yet. But I cried real tears! I have been through many things in my life and have dealt with a multitude of situations and emotions. I have been married and divorced twice. I am an ex-navy wife. I am a mom, a Grammie of 8 (so far), a sister, an aunt, and a friend of longevity. I have a son and a son-in-law in the US Navy and am very proud of their job decision and their accomplishments. My job as a mother is FOREVER. It will not stop when a child of mine reaches the age of 18! I have always been well liked, but not liked by all. I can stretch a dollar like it’s a rubber band. I like the person I am. I graduated from a writing school. I am in the process of writing a book. I graduated from University of Phoenix at the age of 56 with an associate’s degree in Art. I am disabled, having a multitude of health issues. I had a corneal transplant and since then have become an advocate for organ and tissue donation. One of my hobbies is finding those who share the exact birthday as me – July 22, 1957. There is much more ABOUT ME but I guess you will have to follow my blog if you’d like to find these things out : )

  4. Kindness to others is not as prevalent nowadays, or so it seems anyway. I can’t count how many times a person in front of me has failed to keep a door open as I approach the doorway. Maybe manners has more to do with that though. 😉
    Thanks for stopping by my blog today, just returning the favour. 🙂

    • You don’t see people holding doors like they used to. Or giving up their seat on a bus for someone who is disabled or pregnant. Sad that society seems to lack not only kindness but also manners. Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog.

    • Even picking a flower for someone can show kindness. That is as long as the flower isn’t on the property of a neighbor…lol Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog.
