These are excellent words to live by. We can't control others, but we do have a choice in how we interact with them. People have been starved for touch, kindness and human interaction, and then 2020 landed on us, exacerbating the situation exponentially. There is an overwhelming amount of grief in our country.
Rarely does it take a lot of effort to be kind. Let's go the extra few inches. Smile. Say "please" and "thank you." State out-loud your appreciation for someone. Send a friendly email or text, or better yet, hand-write an actual letter (they are so fun to receive!). Have a masked-up porch visit with a friend or neighbor. Leave big tips. Adopt a dog. You know what sort of kindness best fits you--go for it!
