I once had a friend tell me that everyone always has something going on in their lives that we don’t necessarily know about. And for that reason we needed to be kind to one another.

There are a lot of people in my life who are dealing with a variety of things right now. This is a reminder to be kind to one another. Take that extra moment to listen, ask someone how their day is going, or even just smile.

Doing something kind for someone might just be the bright spot in their day. It might be a small thing but it makes a difference.

For the people in my life that are dealing with illness, caring for family members, recovering from surgery, dealing with ongoing health problems, retiring soon, trying to juggle busy family lives, I see you. My message to you is: you got this, you are strong, you are capable and you are important!

Now go and spread a little kindness!
