Care is not simply about performing tasks. Care is about supporting the person with as much tenderness and love as possible.
“I was in London with my daughter Lizzie for a hospital appointment. When we returned to Epping tube station, we found ourselves on the wrong side of the platform, where there were stairs to cross.
I started to lift my daughter out of her wheelchair to carry her up the stairs, planning to hold the wheelchair in my other arm when a kind gentleman offered to carry it for me."

Reminder: I (and most Canadians) don't hate Americans. I've met a few hundred of you (at least) face-to-face, and almost all were friendly, hospitable people.
We're just having a really tough time dealing with your federal government right now. I know many of you are, too. Stay strong, and hang onto that American friendliness and hospitality — supporting each-other will get you through this.
I was so touched by this act of kindness, especially as I had missed my breakfast. A dedication to this man for his kindness & to all the hard working people out there.”
We loved hearing this story from Rebecca - it’s such a lovely example of how a small act of kindness can make an enormous difference.

Some inspiration for your timeline 
@RickiTarr Making #compliments. Telling people why I like what they do / how they do it. At least say 'thank you', #BeKind.
I started in young years when I worked in gastronomy.
Customers were very quick with complaints and nagging but rarely told you if they were satisfied.
It makes me happy when the other person's eyes light up or they start to smile. Sometimes a nice conversation arises because people are amazed that people can be #kind.
Kindness - let it break out everywhere.

The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here.
While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all.

I finished the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves by Alison Wood Brooks. I love the topic about how to communicate well with other people – it’s an art that we can cultivate to our own and others’ benefit. It’s beautiful, healthy, and connective, and I was happy to have this book become available.
This is a long thread with my notes and direct quotes.
The book begins by identifying maxims that can be used to facilitate conversation, which I think are useful both offline and on: “The TALK maxims break conversation down into four crucial reminders that will guide our entire approach to make conversation more vibrant, enriching, and effective: Topics, because great conversationalists choose good topics and make any topic better; Asking, because asking questions helps us move between topics and dive deeper into them; Levity, to keep our conversations from becoming stale; and Kindness, because great talkers care for others and show it.”
It's an easy reminder – to stay curious, to introduce lightness, and to lead with compassion.
The orange man is insane. 
"U.S. government efforts to eliminate diversity initiatives are not going down well on the #European continent. Companies that have contracts with the U.S. government should drop #diversity, #equity and inclusion initiatives." #freedom
My friends living in US. I'm worried about you. And I worry about the rest of the world too. My #employer believes in diversity. And I believe that everyone is equal. #suomimastodon #finland #kindness

Went to the post office and let a person who had to step aside to fill in an address to cut in front of me. No big deal, I'm in no rush, said to her to pay forward the kindness next time.
When she got to the till, she grabbed the post satchels I was buying and insisted on paying for me.
