Simple Acts of Kindness

Many people here on Gaia share simple acts of kindness, probably never even giving thought that they are doing so, on a daily basis.
Sometimes these acts are acknowledged by the recipient - other times not - and again, that probably goes unnoticed by those who were kind, because most that do those kind things just seem to do them automatically, as a part of their nature.
Those simple acts of kindness sometimes have a profound affect on the people receiving them. Sometimes the affect is immediate - other times it takes a while to sink in - especially if one has been building up a wall of resistance around them for a while.
While I am typing this, there is a river of tears flowing down my cheeks, from a bundle of emotions rising up within me - gratitude, love, and so much more..... and I just wanted to share with all of you who have been there for me, even when I had my back turned from your light because I was having problems with the intensity of it, that all of those acts of kindness have been, and are truly, appreciated so much.
My heart is opening in ways I haven't felt for many years. Kindness isn't something you can hang onto - you have to let it flow through - it's a special kind of love that just doesn't want to sit still - so for everyone of you who have been so kind to me these past several months - Look Out!, because someone, somewhere (maybe even me) is going to be kind to you, too. :)
Luving you all so much right now.....

Stay open , dear one! Or don't fret if you close, Our hearts are always opening and closing and the good part of them being in a closed state is that the next state is opening again!
Namaste goddess Gemstar. Thank you for sharing with such beautiful thoughts. There is no stopping love. It washes over the giver and receiver, and flows on and on.
And thank you for all your knowledge and energy and sharing and caring.

Community is such a wonderful blessing. It's amazing how someone can touch my life and have no idea how they've blessed me. I may never see or hear from them again, but they may have affected my entire existence.
Glad you are feeling the love. It's wonderful, isn't it?! :)
Hi Shani:
Yes, agree with you on the touching thing - and I've been making it a practice lo try to let those who have been blessing me know how much I appreciate them. It's sort of a spiral thing - love spirals in and love spirals out again.
Yes, wonderful feeling indeed!
precious to feel your open heart
Dear Anna….. Thank you for stopping by the read my blog and for your loving comment. Also a belated congratulations on the wedding - haven't been around as much lately and missed that event somehow.
After the passing over of my parents last year (about which I posted on your Passing pod) it took quite a while for my heart to heal from the cruelness of my relatives. I have now left all of them and the pain behind - loving/living now for what is good NOW in my life.
Hugs ~~^v^~~
Thank you for sending us your warm congratulations - what’s nice about belated good wishes - is the wedding never ends :)
I am so sorry to hear of what must have been a very painful challenging journey for you. It does sound like you are in a good space now.
much love
