kindness matters

the older I get 

the more I am convinced

there is no such thing as a small kindness

I am sitting on my couch, legs stretched out in front of me

and from this vantage point I can see my kitchen

and in my kitchen are two new pieces of furniture, 

compliments of a stranger

who not only gave them to me,

he delivered them

one in early December,

the other piece today

it may not have been a big deal to him,

but my heart smiles because of his kindnesses

and my mind is thinking of ways to pay it forward...

kindness matters

kindness multiplies

kindness makes the world a better place
