"But just because we have the capacity for kindness, and reap real benefits from it, doesn’t mean that we always act with kindness. We may be too busy, distracted, or wrapped up in our own concerns to pay close attention to others’ needs or actively seek out opportunities to help. Or we’re just out of practice: Researchers have argued that kindness is like a muscle that needs to be strengthened through repeated use.
How do we strengthen kindness? Researchers have identified a number of effective exercises, and many of them are collected on the Greater Good Science Center’s new website, Greater Good in Action (GGIA), which features the top research-based activities for fostering happiness, kindness, connection, and resilience."

I attempted to give CPR last week to an elderly veteran at the VA hospital in Tucson. It was too late as he was already deceased, but I did try.

Your intentions as evidenced by your actions (employing your training and knowledge to benefit another) speaks to the kindness within you. Thanks for acting on what is in your heart, PO1 Miller.

I love the way he used 50-gal. plastic barrels and hand trucks to create his 'train'! Thanks for the smiles!
