We can never underestimate this truth: No matter who you are, the biggest thing you do in any day is most often going to be a small act of kindness, decency, or love.

CORY BOOKER

A small act of kindness, decency or love. Have you ever noticed if you are performing these sorts of acts regularly? He is right in saying this a truth. We are all human beings and we each need kindness daily in order to thrive.

We feed the outdoor birds. We feed our pets, but do we ever stop to consider feeding each other the nourishment of being seen and recognized and honored? It can be so simple and need not be expensive.

A smile can foster more smiles from others. I have been making it a point to greet each person I see seated in a wheelchair. Why not? They likely need the encouragement the most. Some are startled by even being spoken to! A smile, a simple hello. Asking how are you today or mentioning isn’t the sun glorious today?

The biggest thing you can do today might only take a few seconds, but it could mean the world to another. So I challenge you to put yourself out there and find ways to do a big act of decency or love.

My license plate frame reads: We are humankind – so be both human and kind!
