Kindness is “the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate” says Oxford Dictionary.
I think kindness can be spread in different ways. One can donate money or goods or their time.
In some instances I believe time is a more effective example of kindness than throwing money at a particular cause. Some causes need volunteers to sort items, pick up items, or deliver items.
I further think that driving someone to an appointment, dropping off their dry cleaning or picking up an item at the store for them is a wonderful way to show kindness.
And I believe kindness is contagious. Take the example of the coffee shop drive through. Someone pays for your coffee or meal and this prompts you to do the same on another occasion. Another simple kindness of opening or holding the door for someone prompts them to do the same for someone else.
Being kind is easy. You just have to do it.
Until the next time.
