the thoughtful rumblings for today…….Oddly enough, what some people take as just everyday normal behavior, others take as overt kindness. Now, in truth, this isn’t odd, this is happening because of the circumstances in someone’s life.
Kindness is a sweet thing, and truly doesn’t take too much effort, although for some people who choose to be grouchy, it might. 
Kindness means doing simple things, not difficult ones–even as simple as opening a door, or just saying hi to someone that’s usually left alone.
When it’s simple to be mean, consider the fact that it’s equally easy to be kind–and the rewards of kindness pay off more in the long run. A simple smile, a handshake or thank you–appreciation from a grouchy neighbor who doesn’t thank anyone. These things can make your day just so much better.
Opting out to take a minute to spare some kindness is easier, and infinitely better than being crabby. So why not go for it? Take that time. Sure, it may have been what your mother and grandmother preached–but they actually did know what they were talking about.
Kindness is sooooo worth it! Why not take the time to use it???
