Kindness Matters

"Kindness is more than deeds.  It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch.  It is anything that lifts another person."
― Plato

The other day, I saw a wooden sign in a store that read Kindness Matters.  No surprise, I bought it.  And the sign got me thinking...  Why does kindness matter?  We all have our own reasons, but here are just a few of mine:

§  It makes us happy.

§  It can touch our hearts in profound ways.

§  It connects us to others.

§  It can lift us up when we don't think anything can.

§  It stays with us.

§  It opens us up to possibilities.

§  It is a way to practice what we believe. 

Why does kindness matter to you?
