Practice random acts of kindness and understand the TRUE spirit of the season! :)
It really made me think... Do random acts of kindness really happen? All my 3-Day friends would say ABSOLUTELY! but I am wondering if it really happens in the "real world"?
Yes, I hold doors open for people to not even be acknowledged and I have offered to let people go ahead of me in lines at stores... but do other people recepreicate?
This year has been a tough one for many people... times are hard and can turn people to the negative. And I will admit, it's been hard for me to stay focused on the positive at times. I do truly believe that people are good and want to help their fellow man... or woman.
Perhaps we need to make 2012 the year of Hope in Humanity, the year to practice those random acts of kindness daily. Kindness should not be limited to a season or an event... it should be in our nature.
Start today and start small... a friendly smile, an open door, holding an elevator, giving up a parking space... all do-able and all impactful! :)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Ghandi
