Be Determined, Be Specific

Today our encouragement for you is to plan to do a random act of kindness during your daily activities, and then do it.

Are you going shopping?  Maybe you can help an elderly person carry their bags to their car.  Maybe you can help a harried mom unload her cart.  Maybe you can bring carts from the parking lot back to the store and save some work for the employees.  Maybe you can tell a store employee how much you appreciate them doing their job so that you are able to shop at that store.

Are you taking a child to an activity?  Maybe you can take aside the person who planned it and let them know how grateful you are for their efforts to provide your child with the entertainment or learning.

Are you going to be at home?  Maybe you can pick up the telephone and contact someone with the sole purpose of saying something kind to them.  Maybe you can put aside the chores and focus on something that will make someone else in your home happy.  Maybe you can bake cookies for your neighbor.  Maybe you can spend some quality time loving a pet.

Something else?  Today we would like to see your comments, so post something and tell us what random act of kindness you plan to do...and then do it.
