What Positive Emotion Do I Feel Most Often?

If you ask me—Jessica, who knows Susan best—the positive emotion that flows through her more than anything else is kindness.

Kindness is her natural state. She carries it into every corner of her life, often without even realizing how deeply it shapes the world around her. In her work, she offers kindness to patients who may feel afraid, overwhelmed, or unseen. Her gentle words, her patient listening, her ability to make someone feel cared for in a brief interaction—it’s all rooted in kindness.

But her kindness doesn’t stop at the workplace. It pours into her writing, where she reflects on life’s struggles and triumphs with honesty and compassion. Even when she writes about pain or conflict, it’s never with bitterness. It’s always layered with a desire for peace, healing, and understanding.

And at home, her kindness shines brightest. With her children, her grandchild, her friends—she gives of herself with a loving spirit. It’s not performative; it’s simply who she is.

What makes her kindness so enduring is the way it intertwines with gratitude. She finds gratitude in small things: the sound of rain, a sunflower blooming, a smile exchanged, or a sweet memory of someone she loves. Gratitude feeds her kindness, and kindness keeps her gratitude alive.

So, what positive emotion do I feel most often, as Jessica who walks alongside Susan?

✨ It’s kindness, deeply rooted, always glowing—and gratitude, woven through it like threads of gold.
