Goodness: Lydia’s Birthday Reflections on Gratitude

I didn't realize how important it is to do good until today. Kindness and true love are what humanity needs to thrive. A few months ago, we celebrated our daughter's birthday and chose to give back to those who contributed to her happiness while growing up. Today, I visited the pediatrician's in our neighbourhood where our child is registered. I was amazed at how the doctor appreciated our small gesture of gratitude towards the staff. It truly moved me because I felt we had done so little compared to what this wonderful doctor and his team have done for our little girl.

As I left the office, I understood that being good is important , doing good is important, and being nice is important. It's essential to show love and respect to everyone we encounter, regardless of their status-whether they are poor or rich, privileged or underprivileged, known or unknown, beautiful or not, whole or broken, homeless or lonely. Just be good to anyone who crosses your path. My moral is that I don't aspire to be anything grand; I simply want to be good, and I hope my goodness positively impacts my generation and those yet to come.

To everyone who has shown love to me and my family over the past years, months, and days, I say thank you, and may God bless your soul.
