An image illustrating a small act of kindness.

Hi it's Jeannie again. Did you spread some kindness?

Here is an idea. If you go through a toll booth with a person taking tolls. Then pay the person's toll behind you. Yes small acts of kindness still tough peoples lives. Have you helped a neighbor lately? Mowing their lawn or perhaps giving them a ride to the store or picking up a few groceries that they needed? Maybe just getting their mail or maybe it's sitting for an hour and talking to somebody because they don't have any friends baking cookies or buying cookies and taking them to a neighbor maybe it's buying fruit anyway I always think that everyone needs a hug because I know I always need hugs. Maybe you're thinking well I'm not a hugger well then maybe you should become one. They did a study years ago of a library returning books. The people that touched the librarian were returning books were thought of kindly. The people that didn't make an effort in touch the librarian's hand they were thought of not as nice. The librarians didn't necessarily like them even though they never saw all these people before maybe they weren't working when they got the books also. Also, now everything's online. However, there's a lot of people that still don't know how to use the Internet or text. Maybe you can help them. I'm sure you have many of your own ideas that will come into mine after reading these. I'd love to hear them. Please write too blank, blank blank, and if it's something really unusual that we we love, we will print it with your name or without it your choice till next month remember giving caring and smiling. See you next month.
