April 7 - Kindness Zone

Day 97 of a year of Kindness

I recently got some stickers from Karyn Ross that she designed. They read: “This is a Kindness Zone.” It’s such a clever message to share. This afternoon, I went to the post office and spoke with this lovely man who sold me some stamps. I asked him if everyone was being kind to him and he shared that some customers weren’t actually being very nice. That’s when I remembered Karyn’s stickers! I pulled one out of my wallet and showed it to him. He laughed out loud. Then he allowed me to stick it on the wall for customers to see. Going forward, he will point to the sticker if people aren’t kind. Thank you Karyn for unknowingly creating a Kindness Zone at the Narragansett Post Office. Customers should be on their best behavior!

Science of kindness: Research reveals that job insecurity, heavy workloads, long work hours and economic uncertainty, has created additional stress on employees. Research also reveals that kindness can help someone who feels all of those things. Be kind to everyone. #kindness #kindnessiscontagious @10kindnessclub #kindnessisfree
