He would free his mornings before work, and come over to help me move to the new place. Sometimes he would patiently sit at my kitchen table and wait until I had finished packing enough boxes to take over. Kindnesses that touch me are when the other person acts from who they are, as a matter of course, without trying to be "kind." It comes naturally.

Kindnesses that touch me are when the other person acts from who they are, as a matter of course, without trying to be “kind.” It comes naturally. My current housemate Donna, always saying yes to my request to borrow her car. My ability to go out in nature is precious to me and she is always amenable.

Her kindness and calm manner has helped so much to keep me calm also. 1 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagCoincidentally was just listening to an interview with Adrienne Bankert. She has a book on kindness. What I took from the interview (haven’t read the book) is that kindness is more like a verb rather than a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s an action oriented mindset and doesn’t need to be dependent on feeling. 3 Reply Ose1 year agoOseYesterday, a participant of our gratefulness-group shared her experience when she was about 8 years old, in which she was severely rebuked by her mother because she had perceived the strict Catholic ritual in church as theater instead of a ceremony and also had said it quite unabashedly. This left its mark on her and created a distance from the subject of ceremony.

This left its mark on her and created a distance from the subject of ceremony. Only today in the conversation the deep religious feeling became clear, that let her feel the difference between formal ritual and ceremony and let her recognize at that time that the form was celebrated, but no ceremony. It was deeply touching to all of us to be allowed to perceive that again a door opened in her.

Their intentions are truly positive and there presence gives me a sense of calming and loving. I also feel highly protected when I am with them. I get the same feelings from plants and water. When I pray and meditate GODS kindness touches me and I am extremely grateful for it. My parents as well. Now that I am away and living in a different state I am able to appreciate their kindness more and have shown them appreciate and gratitude since I have left my home town. MY TWIN FLAME kindness touches me everyday. He took complete care of me out of the states and introduced me to what life is really about, not making money making memories. We will meet him again in my future and cant wait. Read More2 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceMy soft, black cat, Hal, is the sweetest thing. He will come up to me to cuddle, sit on my lap, and then rub himself against me while purring. He also knows when I’m having a hard time and comes up to me when he notices I’m upset. 3 Reply Kristi1 year agoKristiThere are so many people whose kindness has touched me. I was trying to think of a specific time but right now all I can remember is that people have made me think ‘wow, that was so nice of them’! 2 Reply Dusty Su1 year agoDusty SuThose who come and sit down beside me in my pain and confusion. They do not solve my problems, unless I need them too, rather, they try to understand and support me. My partner and I ask, “Do you need comfort or solution right now?” 6 Reply Don Jones1 year agoDon JonesThose that show me friendliness, generosity and consideration are many. And for that, I am grateful. 6 Reply Linda1 year agoLindaA friend sent a link for a covid vaccination for my husband, who has had trouble getting an appointment. He is now scheduled for an appointment on Saturday! We are very grateful for this friend’s kindness. 9 Reply Vincent-Edward Ciliberti1 year agoVincent-Edward CilibertiA reply on my cellular after I called the person stating “Iam sorry but I only saw your message now”. I just could not resist it saying “you must be a kind nice person to have replied back to my message”. Mind you, the message was send to a high ranking person in the service of a corp which is not much loved by most. 5 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteMy neighbor kindness has touched me. She is always there for me when I’m sick. Almost every time I have a migraine she walks my dog and even makes me soup! She’s amazing! What kindness! 8 Reply Toni1 year agoToniA cousin came with me to my fathers wake when no one else in my family would go. I was willing to go alone and was very hurt that no one else cared. Not my mother nor my sister expressed any sympathy. I was grateful that my cousin joined me. My father had remarried and had an entirely new family and many friends and memories of good times in pictures on display. Some older pictures when he was in the service were on tables. I have some of the same pictures. It was so odd not seeing any memories ...A cousin came with me to my fathers wake when no one else in my family would go. I was willing to go alone and was very hurt that no one else cared. Not my mother nor my sister expressed any sympathy. I was grateful that my cousin joined me. My father had remarried and had an entirely new family and many friends and memories of good times in pictures on display. Some older pictures when he was in the service were on tables. I have some of the same pictures. It was so odd not seeing any memories from when he was my father. No pictures of me or my sister. His other children and grandchildren were there at the wake and in the photos. It would have been devistated going home alone has it not been for my cousin joining me. I am grateful for her kindness. My fathers second wife thought I was there in case he left anything for me. She said he had nothing. That is not why I was there and hearing her think that of me was a harsh thing to say under the circumstances. It was one of her daughters that called to tell me my father had passed. I often wondered what he was like as a father since I never really got to know him and missed not having the opportunity through no fault of my own.

Before I could get out the door several neighbors had come to the rescue with chainsaws. 7 Reply pkr1 year agopkrI/My family have been touched by the kindness of so many in the health care arena. My mother was recently hospitalized & is now in a rehab facility & will probably go to a nursing home. This whole process, where she/we are at today has been so hard & trying. I being the caregiver & POA have had to figure this all out quickly, with no experience & no one else to lean on. I have met so many kind, gentle, wonderful people along the way. I am also dealing with my brother’s life...I/My family have been touched by the kindness of so many in the health care arena.

I being the caregiver & POA have had to figure this all out quickly, with no experience & no one else to lean on. I have met so many kind, gentle, wonderful people along the way. I am also dealing with my brother’s life threatening illness. With him & his situation, we have met the kindest people in the health care arena as well. Everyone has been so compassionate, caring & supportive. I feel blessed that during this extremely difficult time people have been absolutely wonderful. The kindness of complete strangers has touched my heart. 🙏❤️ Read More8 Reply Chester1 year agoChesterThe first time my daughter, probably at the time 6 or 7, reached into her pocket and gave what she had to another person on the street who had less. She felt she had enough and could share with another. Such I suppose may be an indirect benefit of realization and gratitude for what we have, we then feel able and wanting to give to another, and such I suppose is the root of a healthy community. 10 Reply Cathie1 year agoCathieOur new neighbors, folks from our spiritual community, and dog lovers we have met who have welcomed, taken time to talk with us and invited us to events! We moved into our last home (probably:) in a new city where we knew no one, and have been welcomed by all we meet! Folks kindness has been heart-warming!I thought it would be harder to make friends sans kids – as they are grown, but we have felt very welcomed. 8 Reply Ed Schulte1 year agoEd SchulteMost recently, it was during my nightly journey out of my physical body . The ” Whose kindness” was the Holy Spirit’s , who, through the Logos, the many many Archangels and their Angels and other cooperating ‘intelligences’ far too many to name or even to be known, were all working to rebuild the damages to the bodies AND THEN!, AND EVEN THEN!, leave a generous daily allowance of Etheric Vitality ( aka “daily bread”) for me to use wisely, or not, and go about life in the 3rd, 4th,...Most recently, it was during my nightly journey out of my physical body . The ” Whose kindness” was the Holy Spirit’s , who, through the Logos, the many many Archangels and their Angels and other cooperating ‘intelligences’ far too many to name or even to be known, were all working to rebuild the damages to the bodies AND THEN!, AND EVEN THEN!, leave a generous daily allowance of Etheric Vitality ( aka “daily bread”) for me to use wisely, or not, and go about life in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions for another “earthly day”. The word“Touch” doesn’t feel to come close to respecting that event! Read More6 Reply Patricia1 year agoPatriciaThe first thing that springs to mind this morning is a woman named Linda who made me an apron using a bath towel. It was a kind gesture after I had admired hers while she was working in our church kitchen. I still use it and think of her, and happened to think of her again just yesterday. The apron, though, reminds me of her overall kindness and smile – so it’s a symbol of all that for me. 8 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
