The importance of being kind

The freedom to brighten someone's day

Small acts of kindness and doing people a good turn can truly bring light to people lives - not only to those who receive the kindness, but also to those who undertake that action. It doesn't have to be a big deal - sometimes a smile at the right time is enough to buoy someone up just when they need it. Think about who you know that might benefit from a cuppa and a chat, or for someone to look after the kids for an hour so they can get a break, or for someone to simply admire the roses they have spent many happy hours cultivating.
