Random Acts of Kindness Day

Always February 17th

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. Today, do a few random acts of kindness. Almost any kind deed will do. And, it is highly recommend you perform kind acts on as many people as you can.

This is a favorite day of many people and groups. People like the idea of showing a little kindness to others. Its a fun and good thing to do. And, they like being on the receiving end of this day as well. It makes both the giver and the receiver feel good.

To receive everything, one must open one's hands and give. -- Taisen Deshimaru

My favorite Random Act of Kindness is to leave my change that comes "down the chute" at the grocery store for the person behind me.
I've gotten many "thank you's" doing this.
Too bad we can't all practice this every day. Even a smile will do. It might brighten someone's day.
Both of you have great smiles. Pass them on.

Dear Linda,

I have been reading your blog every two or three days, ever since Judy forwarded it to me, shortly after she received it.

I called her on Sunday, & we talked about you. I told her that I have been reading & praying for you, but I don't write very often. She told me to just write & tell you that you are in my prayers. You certainly are!!!!!!!!

I also want you to pass on to Dave, what I told Judy about him.
I have been extremely impressed with how supportive & strong Dave is being through this. I know having that kind of support from him & your kids is vital to your positive energy to fight & keep on fighting this Cancer.

Love, Rhody

Cute picture. I forwarded it to a friend. It is so much fun to practice random acts of kindness. I try to do at least one a day. Guess I had better double that today since it is the OFFICIAL day to be nice to folks.
Were you happy that A.J. came in third at Daytona? Looks like he might have a better year.

Hi Dave and Linda,

Sorry I've been absent lately, but just wanted you to know I'm checking in on you again and keeping you both in my prayers regularly.

We see how your army of support has continued to grow and just wanted to let you know soldiers #0020 and #0057 are reporting for duty!

I love random acts of kindness, Kinda like pay it forward. This is something I try to practice on a daily basis. Re-training my brain to quit being so selfish. Most of my life I ran off of me being the center of the universe. Today I am working on being altruistic. You two are prime examples of that. Love Ya, Vicky
