March 8 - Ally of Kindness

Day 67 of a year of Kindness

I spent the afternoon with my son, daughter and her friend. We went to a winery where they offer a variety of games. We ordered food and drinks and played Rummy 500. I picked up the tab, which was not going to be my kind act. But after I paid, my son, Daniel, calling himself an ally, bought a dessert board in honor of International Women’s Day. It was funny and kind and appreciated by all the women at the table. I’m sharing his kindness because it was a sweet thing to do.

Science of kindness: Research shows that socializing and sharing a meal is like a multivitamin for our mental health, packed with a host of mood-boosting benefits. Engaging in meaningful interactions with friends and family can reduce stress, anxiety and depression. And if you get a free dessert out of it - that’s an extra bonus.#internationalwomensday #kindness #kindnessiscontagious @10kindnessclub @kindnessisfree
