Kindness

I was all set out to write about something else this morning, when my son texted me that former neighbors of ours, were recent victims of a murder/suicide. The husband shot his wife and then himself. By all accounts, this couple and their adult children, were happy, and full of life and love. If you look at their social media accounts, you would assume that they were leading a perfectly wonderful life. I think that in these difficult times, in particular, the old adage of “You never know what goes on behind closed doors,” applies more than ever. I also read something this morning that said that a real, truly happy smile is seen in the eyes. Let’s make a point of really looking into people’s eyes, these days. The masks make it easier for us to do this. We all have the ability to be kind. If ever there was a time in the world that needed showers and showers of kindness, this is the time.
