Kindness Spreads like Blood
What if the cashier said, “Thank you” and meant it and the person in front of you held the door open for you too, and if the next face you saw was smiling so wide you just wanted to know why. Would your eyes twinkle too as if the sky was just that specific shade of blue and the clouds that float by look like an elephant in a tutu? Would that happiness spread through the hamburger you give the guy on the street because no one needs the second quarter-pounder with cheese? Would you walk your dog a little faster so she could sniff what she’s after and dance on the leash as she greets everyone she meets as someone important and a friend who’s worth knowing and then play chase in the park ‘til we all get tuckered out. Then the other doggy moms and dads would smile too, and that might be because of you.
