Kindess Isn't Tiny ❁
Tiny Kindnesses are the types of kindness that feel small to the person giving them, but not at all small to the person receiving them. Instead, they’re the kind they’ll remember forever. It’s a Japanese man stopping the rain for a new mom as he placed his umbrella over her and her baby. It’s a stranger on a New York subway noticing a mom holding her child’s empty banana peel and tossing it away for her at an earlier stop.
It’s kindness that takes place after infertility, miscarriages, births, illness, divorce, and death; on doorsteps, buses, subways, airplanes, and at grocery stores; between strangers, neighbors, friends, and family members. It is instance after instance of humans showing up for each other in beautiful ways.
These kindnesses are happening everywhere, all of the time.
