Definitely!

Empathy, kindness, compassion do go a long way and extending that to others is truly a gift. Then in return we see the gift received and that is fulfilling.

Our kindness is a rippling affect that impacts others. The more we do this on a daily basis with others we come in contact with, the more enjoyable our lives will be.

What steps are you all taking today to extend kindness? What are some random acts that all of you can do to make someone's day better?
