Love and Kindness in a Smile

For me, the reward is raising the feeling of love in another.
To give something to another person, without the expectation of anything in return.
It’s a selfless act of kindness. And it’s the most rewarding feeling.
Our lives are full of these moments and opportunities, and I love having the chance to embrace them.
It could be a friendly smile or hello to someone in the grocery store. A pay-it-forward with a coffee in the Tim Hortons line up.
A compliment that makes someone feel amazing.
To surprise your children with a cute treat or note in their lunch.
It doesn’t have to be a giant present all wrapped up underneath the tree.
And yes, it could be having a toast at dinner, to thank the cook for preparing such a beautiful meal. That feeling!
To make someone feel good about themselves.
To have them feel loved, and special. To feel appreciated.
This is what this time of year is all about. It’s about giving.
Giving truly is receiving!
