5/1
It's a new month, yay!
So it's convienient that I am talking about kindness on a Sunday. Sunday's always remind me of church days. It's a holy day in my family. We don't work. We go to church, eat a meal together and have an afternoon nap. Sunday's are a little different now. I still keep work at bay and try to get to church. This Sunday I skipped church, it was a friends birthday (one of my closest friends) and so I spent as much time with her as I could. On my return I hopped onto the MRT (underground train) and something caught my eye.
But let me set this up first, I've been feeling pretty tired because it's been a long week, im on some tablets, I ate really late today and I have been lugging my bags around. All I wanted to do was sit on the MRT but elders always get priority. While I could've sat I rather stood just in case. Then I saw an older lady give her seat to a mom and child and that was really thoughtful but then someone else offered her seat (which she declined) and then I pointed her to "my seat" that I was keeping open just in case. It was a beautiful thing for me. It's so simple but the beauty of it all spoke out loud to me. I was watching the ripple effect of kindness...There were a few gestures and mumbles but as the saying goes... Actions speak louder than words.
May we live bold lives silently.
Love,
Phoenix and Sarah
