Today is world kindness day. Sometimes I feel like I am falling way behind on my conquest to change the world with kindness for Elijah--or even just for myself. I feel this way especially on "big days" like today. I feel like I should have had some special event or did some special act of kindness, but honestly today was just a pretty average day for us. I slept in a little bit, taught the kids, worked a tad bit on my next retreat, and then went to the gym to work out with Levi and Alex--and then do zumba.
No conference. No speech. No big trip, or book. It is just me, doing little acts of kindness here and there hoping that they make a difference. And you know what, I believe they do. I believe that each tiny little moment of sharing love, each quarter left in a gumball machine, and every little act of service or giving all changes the world in monumental ways. Each moment of kindness inspires more kindness, and if we all strived to do one conscious act of kindness each day, we would see a huge shift in the world.
So if you have those moments of doubt, like I do sometimes, just remember that all kindness counts. Even if the person isn't "deserving" in the eyes of some. Even if it is just holding the door. Even if you don't feel like it is enough. If it is genuine and done with love, it matters.
It is not too late to pull do an act of kindness on this world kindness day. What will you do to help change the world?
Sending you all lots of love. When your out there changing the world, think of Elijah please.
Thank you.
I love you sweet boy.
And I still plan to change this whole world for you.
Today I am just tired...
I wish I could do more.
I always will wish I could do more.
I love and miss you.
Always.
