Practicing Kindness And Generosity Towards Others.

Spreading kindness and positivity, taking the time to do something thoughtful and meaningful for others can bring joy and happiness to both you and those around you.

During shopping last Friday, I passed by where fresh groundnuts were sold (it's in season now) and I remembered that mom loves eating it so bought some for her. I love eating it too and I prefer cooking it by myself, just like mom. So when I got to their place to deliver the stuffs I bought for them, I handed the bag containing the groundnut to her. Immediately she opened it and saw what it was, her face brightened up and she asked how I knew she's been craving it for a while now. Well I told her I knew because I'm my mother's daughter and we laughed. She was happy and appreciative of my thoughtfulness and that gladdened my heart.

One beautiful thing about kindness is that it has a way of creating a ripple effect of happiness in your life, that of those around you, and even beyond.
So still on my Friday shopping, I stopped at another shop to buy soap and detergent, the vendor, a young girl was welcoming, with a cheerful smile. I noticed her beautiful dentition and couldn't help complimenting them. She smiled even more, and oh my world, they sparkled and I could see how happy she was, that warmed my heart. You know what happened next, the mom came out of the shop and seeing our smiling faces, she joined in too.
Kindness is damn contagious, lol.
