A single act of kindness...

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

 Sometimes it is hard to really explain our feelings and emotions. Sometime I feel so mad that honestly I want to beat the crap outta something or someone. Now where this rage comes from I have no idea. There are other times that I am bouncing off the walls because I am so happy. Now sometimes we can explain what causes these emotions- a spouse, work, an event or something else.

Now what really makes my day is when some one does that something nice for you that you would never expect. From texting to make sure your all right, dropping you an email, stopping in to say hello or stopping you in passing.

I tired to be a friendly and caring person- take others feelings into consideration when I do things.  Its who I am. I hate conflict and arguing. I try to let my friends know that my door is never shut and locked now matter what or when.  I believe just what the quote above states- "A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." That one thing you do for someone else leads into them passing something else on and then just like a snowball it gets bigger and bigger the more you roll it.
