It was started by the World Kindness Movement back in 1998.
Waaaayyy back when I was a newbie blogger, I kinda, sorta inadvertently wrote a series of little posts of suggestions for performing random acts of kindness, inspired by the....wait for it....Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.
You see, I never have been, and probably never will be, someone who is able to be super philanthropic, much to the chagrin of my bleeding heart.
But kindness? Doesn't have to cost a dime. It is something each and every one of us can do to be charitable (which is really only another word for love) to others.
I think I published 19 (stupid odd number) kindness idea posts. Here are the best ones:
- Forgive someone
- Become an Organ Donor
- Spend Time with Someone
- Offer Free Babysitting to Parents
- Cook a Meal for Someone
- Thank Your Bus or Taxi Driver
Everything from compliments to smiles to doing someone a favor are all acts of kindness.
And each little kindness you show to another person makes a difference.
Even if you don't think it was much, the other person might think it's everything.
One more thing: don't forget to be kind to yourself!
Can you think of something nice to do for someone today?
