*****Kindness*****
Being kind is an enjoyable experience. It makes you feel good and useful...and alive!!
The person who receives a kind act experiences a "feel good" response too. It is a nice experience when someone smiles at you, thanks you, compliments you, or helps you in some way. It creates a bonding, and in that moment there is a greater sense of worth about yourself and people in general.
It is a feeling akin to feeling in love, and in a way...you have fallen in love with humanity. When you do something good, your body actually rewards you by releasing endorphins. They create the feel good experience, and also even have the capacity to reduce or block pain signals to the brain.
It has been scientifically proven that regular, small acts of kindness have a positive effect...not only...on your physical and mental well being, but also on your longevity!
Kindness is not only a feel good experience.....it is also beneficial to you health. So what are you waiting for? Let's all be kind to each other....today and everyday.

When you are kind, it changes everything. If someone is giving you a hard time and you are kind they don't know what to do. I agree with you.

Hi Melanie, it does have a positive and healthy effect on you and the other person. We don't need to wait for someone else to be kind, it has to come from us to spread it. Thanks for kind gesture.
Thanks Jen for your warm and kind comment *smile* You made me think of the old saying : If someone doesn't have a smile....give them one of yours! Take Care...Melanie :)

One should do a random act of kindness each day. I held the door open for the delivery guy at the vet today (ok, so he was cute too) but it still counted right? LOL.
Of course, Debbie....it counts and it made your day nicer *because he was cute* (ha ha)
