the good in the world.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the beauty in the world that we live. 
The last several months have been filled with too many sad stories on the news, too many hardships, too many tragedies. 
It's important for us to not lose faith in humanity. 
To continue to see the kindness around us and give it whenever we can. 
The little acts of kindness are in fact BIG to those on the receiving end.  
I was on this blog, and watched this video.  I was so touched and moved and uplifted, I decided it was worth spreading the love and kindness in any way that I can.  
My friend Danielle, told me a story about how last week she was driving down the highway and came upon a horrible car accident that had just happened.  Immediately and without hesitation, she pulled over with her kids in the car, got out and ran through the mud, losing her shoes along the way, to help those involved.  She performed CPR on one of the passengers until emergency response arrived. 
She is the good. 
There is so much good around us. 
Sometimes our focus is pulled from that. 
No matter how big or small, every act of kindness is BIG to those on the other side of it. 

The video is from Russian dash cameras.
Turn up the volume. 
You may even tear up a little like I did at 4:26.

"It’s a cold, dark world, but people still take your hand and help you cross the street. I don’t know, I just think that’s kind of beautiful."
