Kindness is contagious!

One kind word can change someone’s entire day,
especially when they are having a ruff time.

Being kind actually changes the way we see ourselves,
the way we see others, and the way others see us.

Take the time to make a Pawsitive Difference!

When you smile, you reduce the stress that your body and mind feel. Recent studies show that it’s similar to getting a good night’s sleep.

Smiling also generates more positive emotions within you. That’s why we feel happier around children, BECAUSE they smile more!

Children smile an average of 400 times a day. Happy people smile 40-50 times a day, and the average person only smiles 20 times a day.

Time to act like children!
