August 18 - Birthday Calls

Day 229 of a year of Kindness

I learned a lot about my kindness practice while I’ve been healing from an ankle injury. I’ve been so blessed to have kindness ambassadors step in to keep the ball rolling (thank you and please feel free to send me some more). But I’ve also noticed that in the past week, my mood has started to dip. 

It has been four weeks since my surgery. I can walk again in 10 days. But the final stretch feels like the hardest.

I realized this morning that I’m also missing the amazing chemical boost that I get from my kindness practice. So, today, I refocused.This morning, I called two people who had birthdays. I normally put up a Facebook post and feel good about it. But today, I took the extra step to call two people I haven’t spoken to in awhile. They both answered. They both made me laugh. I’m glad both of them were born. It improved my mood and I know they felt appreciated. #kindness #kindnessmatters #kindnessisfree #happybirthday
