Nothing warms my heart like witnessing acts of kindness. While many consider New York City to be a tough, unfriendly city, I see signs of love and generosity all over Manhattan. Just a few days ago I witnessed a stranger helping a woman carry a large stroller down the stairs to the subway, and before that a man crouching down on the ground to help tie a woman's shoe. I've observed people holding the door for one another, people picking up dropped items for one another, and friends helping friends put their coats on in the winter time. These acts of kindness may sound small, but you never know how much they may have improved someone's day. Next time you're out walking around your city, keep your eyes peeled, and I bet you will witness acts of kindness too!
