Small Kindnesses Along the Road

"Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness.  Every act creates a ripple with no logical end."
~ Scott Adams

Where I live is known as one of the worst places to drive in the country -- especially in terms of driver courtesy (lack of).  So it was with quite a bit of surprise that I watched a driver in front of me carefully back up to let a car coming from the opposite direction make a left turn in front of him.  That small act of kindness inspired me a few minutes later to stop so that a car could enter the road in front of me from the other side of the street.

And that is what kindness does...  Not only does it benefit the giver and the receiver, but also it impacts those who observe it.  It inspires us to do our part, however small.  And I believe that small acts of kindness lift our spirits and pave the way for more kindness.
