Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.

One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat.

I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.
