Kudos for Kindness

"The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?"
― Dorothy Day

A very special friend of mine who works overseas wrote recently to say that he was trying to help a friend who is going through a hard time, but he was not sure what to do.  He wrote, "He's my friend and I want to supportive, but I feel helpless.  It seems my only option is to do any and all kindnesses I can just to try to eliminate other stresses, minor though they may be."  Wow, I thought, talk about kindness!  My friend is trying to do "any and all kindnesses" he can.  Imagine what the world would be like if everyone embraced his approach.
