If 2020 teaches us anything, it's to cherish the little things and take nothing for granted. Our health, our freedom, our connections -- all of these things have been taken away from us in either small or major ways. We've had to sacrifice for the greater good, a concept that isn't quite understood by some. Asking us to wear masks, limit our social contacts, protect our most vulnerable and sacrifice our everyday lives has been the norm since March. It all comes down to the notion of caring for and being kind to others. Have you gone out of your way this past year to do something kind for someone (other than your loved ones)?

The Random Acts Of Kindness Foundation started in a Sausalito, California, restaurant in 1982 when Anne Herbert scrawled the words "practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a place mat. Since than, this non-profit works at making kindness the norm. They are rooted in the belief that all people can connect through kindness and that kindness can be taught. Do you believe that kindness can be taught?

The benefits of kindness, besides the obvious -- helping others feel better -- are many. Kindness can also be contagious (in a good way), so seeing others be kind makes others in turn be kind. It's the whole "pay it forward" concept. Are you aware of these benefits of simple kindness?

A very wise woman (my mom) once said to me "It takes the same amount of energy and time to be kind as it does to not be kind. Why would you chose to NOT be kind?" I have always lived my life with these words shaping everything I do. Which of these quotes about kindness do you like?
