My favorite, simple, act of daily kindness is to smile at every stranger that meets my gaze. It is amazing how many unexpected returned smiles you receive.There is a special warmth one gains from this mutual exchange, nothing more nothing less than a simple smile. This effortless gesture somehow reminds me that we are all human despite being 'strangers' in this seemingly massive world.
The human experience of loneliness can be alleviated by for just one moment by sharing a smile satisfying this innate longing for connection, even just for one moment. Sometimes that simple act is all it takes to lift ones mood and make ones day.
I am ever conscious that each individual is on a journey, fighting a battle that they feel perhaps nobody understands. This one simple connection has the potential to mean so much more.
