Gentle touches and kindness

There isn't enough kindness in the world.  I'm not trying to be simplistic, but, I find that every kindness I receive from others brighten my life.  Polite gestures are never wasted on me.  I love it when someone holds the door for me.  I think, every time I show kindness to another person, it makes my soul richer.  When I hold someone's hand and speak softly, it helps them cope better in that moment.  For life is full of moments.  We race towards the future and forget to live in the present.  I can tell you how the story will end, but, I want to feel the moments getting there.  So, I have promised myself to be a little more patient with those who try my patience; to be kinder to those who aren't always kind; to be gentle with those who aren't.  Oh, and I will gladly hold the door for someone!
