Publisher's Synopsis
Kindness. What a wonderful word! Its meanings and the results it produces may differ from person to person. While being kind makes you feel warm and happy, there are actual physical benefits that you reap. Kindness produces an effect which is the opposite of stress! When we do something kind our body produces oxytocin, making us feel good. And it softens your arteries, allowing your blood pressure drops! Kindness can be just a small thing. A smile, a kind word, picking up something someone dropped, opening a door. The list goes on and on and on. And it doesn't stop with the person who was kind. It is amazing how one small act of kindness grows. Like ripples in the water caused by a tossing in a small pebble, kindness spreads out in all directions. Kindness can be simple, but it can also be profound. You will find a variety of quotations in this journal. They vary in length: Some are longer and some are just a few words. Yet each one contains seed for thought. Perhaps some will linger in your mind and reveal greater insights later. You never know where your thoughts may take you. When you have finished, you will have created a wonderful collection of your thoughts, ideas, and inspirations generated by reading quotations from a variety of authors. You can re-read these any time you wish. You may find, as you re-read your entries, that you want to add more thoughts or expand upon what you've written. Reading and writing about the quotations may lead you in directions you may not have thought about as you started to write. Each entry contains two pages. The quotation at the beginning of each entry is intended to provide inspiration or material for thought about which you may write. Perhaps entirely different ideas will present themselves as you sit down to write in your journal. This is your journal: Use it any way you wish, and please enjoy using it. Space is provided for you to create your own index at the back of this journal if you wish.
