You are truly exemplifying what 00:21.180 --> 00:23.670 it means to give happy . And I'm so 00:23.680 --> 00:26.440 proud . Did you know that when you show 00:26.450 --> 00:28.920 kindness to others or witness someone 00:28.930 --> 00:31.239 else's random act of kindness ? It 00:31.250 --> 00:34.060 brings a health benefit researchers 00:34.069 --> 00:37.020 call it elevation and it is that moment 00:37.029 --> 00:39.196 when you feel a warmness in your chest 00:39.229 --> 00:41.590 or your eyes may well up or you might 00:41.599 --> 00:44.400 even get goose bumps , however , it is 00:44.409 --> 00:47.279 experienced , it manifests itself in 00:47.290 --> 00:50.200 you and there are proven positive 00:50.209 --> 00:53.099 impacts on your physical , emotional 00:53.110 --> 00:56.049 and mental health . As a result with 00:56.060 --> 00:58.860 this in mind , the holidays are upon us 00:58.869 --> 01:01.389 and the combined Federal campaign gives 01:01.400 --> 01:04.040 us an opportunity to engage in an act 01:04.050 --> 01:06.690 of kindness during a season when others 01:06.699 --> 01:09.879 may feel lonely or less privileged . I 01:09.889 --> 01:12.279 encourage you to join me on Tuesday , 01:12.290 --> 01:15.319 December 3rd to do something for them 01:15.330 --> 01:18.389 by visiting .
