“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” Oscar Wilde
As I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and the debut of a new season of Christmas themed commercials that tug at heartstrings, this quote came to mind. The holidays are filled with emotions, yes, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but unless that feeling is accompanied by action, those emotions fall in the “if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it still make a noise” category. Go ahead, put money in the kettle. Smile at the harried cashier. Act on the emotions – the good ones anyway.
