A few weeks ago I sat down to write and decorate Valentine's for all my girls. I sent out dozens of them this week and today I hand delivered more. Who doesn't love getting actual mail? I know I much prefer to hold an actual card in my hand, knowing the care and thought someone took versus opening a quick email or text, a virtual expression left to float in digital space out of reach (unless I remember to save it).
It has warmed my heart this week as I've gotten calls and email responses -- just knowing that I put a smile on someone's face.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love. - Lao Tse
PS: As an extra RAK today, I left a 50% tip for my waitress at lunch. Was she a fabulous waitress? Not even close.
Follow me on my journey as I commit to sharing 365 consecutive, random acts of kindness.
