Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Waking Up With The Kindness Urge


--by flowerpower, posted Feb 6, 2011

This morning I took the liberty of making my mom breakfast while she was getting ready for work. It was surprising to me that I was able to drag myself out of bed because I was so sleep deprived and given that I didn’t have school today, I didn’t even have to get up early. I guess the fact that I didn’t have school today was all the more reason to help out.

So I groggily got downstairs and started to make fresh coffee, along with an onion and sausage omelette sandwich. In the process of cooking, I realized that once I actually got out of bed, it wasn’t so bad after all. When mum came down, she was so happy that I took the initiative to do that for her. It made me feel nice, when she said that.
 
After she left for work, I felt more motivated, so I wrote an appreciation letter to all my friends on facebook. Why not, right? Some of them really liked it. One of my friends wrote "kindness is like a boomerang, it always returns”. I smiled to myself and acknowledged this fact for most of the day. My dear friends wrote back to me saying how that they are glad that they are all my friends. I was happy to acknowledge the fact that I had friends who cared for me as much as I do for them.
