Ask someone to remember a kindness that stayed with them, and the answer is rarely grand. It is the neighbor who shoveled the path without being asked, the stranger who paid for a coffee, the teacher who noticed.
Small is easy to give
A small kindness asks little of the giver, so it can happen every day instead of once a year.
Small is easy to receive
A big gesture can feel like a debt. A small one is simply a gift, with nothing owed back.
Small travels
The person who receives a small kindness often passes it on the same day. That is how one good moment becomes many.
