Today's kindness challenge is gratitude. Take some time today to write a letter, send a text or tell someone how much they mean to you and that you appreciate them. According to Harvard Health research, gratitude helps you “feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve your health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.”
A word from Pope Francis at the Inaugural Mass in 2013, “To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope, it is to let a shaft of light breakthrough the heavy clouds.” Let kindness prevail in our world.
