It’s time to stop and smell the flowers.
Nurturing kindness is not just about being nice. It is about being aware of the world around us and noticing the small things that we might otherwise miss.
It is about noticing those sidewalk cracks, those dandelions, those little moments that make our day a little bit better. It’s about feeling the feelings and smelling the flowers as they grow in our own backyards as well as in our neighbors’. It is about being kinder to ourselves and others, but it’s also about being kind to everything else around us
Nurturing kindness is all about finding the good in the seemingly ordinary things. It’s about acknowledging that you are not perfect, but that you are doing your best.
So smile at sidewalk dandelions, that are beautiful and everyday, and you also might be surprised to notice who smiles at you.
