With the cost of living going up and up,
and many going to food banks every week,
most of us have little to give
'financially'.
Even to our usual charities,
we may have had to cut down,
because the electric bill has gone up,
alongside the phone bill.
However ---
we can give a smile
freely,
we can give a nod
freely,
we can give a kind word
freely.
Being kind is free,
it sometimes just requires our time,
and if we can't give 5 minutes to 'chat' to someone,
we are too busy!
When we give kindness,
it also reflects on our personalities
and always 'comes back to us'.
Do you want to be known
as a kind person?
All of us do!
And you never know
how much a kind word
can really help someone,
even a stranger.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
