When I think about kindness it's usually such a trivial idea. It doesn't really mean anything to anyone. The way I heard it the most of my life was as a part of the phrase - "kill them with kindness." That works and is a good idea, but why can't we just be kind. I say it a lot to people - be nice. Same idea.
What the duck, Jerry?
So the thing is - I can define this word best with people. Like I did yesterday, like I do every day. I love people and I like using them as adjectives...
Kindness is chosen family.

Kindness is commitment to a shared goal.
I am thankfully surrounded by kindness. Where is kindness in your life? Who is kind to you? What does kindness look like? (I know I asked yesterday, but no one has answered...)
So happy you are surrounded by such loving kindness. I think this is what is missing for me in my new Northern home. An absence of kindness, both from friends and of the random kind. Such a closed-off place. I continue to be a catalyst for kindness around me in the hopes that the ripple will return to me.
