The Beauty of Recognizing Kindness

"It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just when you wonder whether focusing on kindness matters...  Your son says on the way to school:  "Look, Mama, that crossing guard is helping an old woman cross the street.  That's kindness!"  Ah, talk about warming a mother's heart.
