When I look for kindness, I see it all around
The young person helps an elderly woman with groceries
The driver stopping to check on a dog near the road
The smile from the clerk when she checks me out
A hello as I walk down the street
The truck driver slowing down to let me into his lane
The laughter of children playing
The adult taking the hand of a child to cross the street
The neighbor who fixes my appliance
Kindness blooms where kindness is planted
Plant kindness where you are
smile at the harried clerk
say thank you to the kindness others offer
show appreciation for those who serve
encourage a friend
Kindness spreads like wildfire
Please plant it where you are
