I'm leading with a snail's pace for my "Random Acts of Kindness" week. Yesterday I planned on bringing homemade brownies to a meeting that ended up being cancelled. Today I meant to drop those same brownies off to a senior's organization, but I forgot to take them with me. Even though I'm off to a slow start, I found RAK's all around me today.
When I went to teach my aquafit class at the pool tonight, a box of oranges sat on the counter, a gift from a pool customer for the staff - so nice! On my way out of the building there was a display for East Prince Family Violence Prevention - turns out they are also celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week and were passing out lists of ideas for doling out compassion. Here were a few ideas from the list:
Eat lunch with someone new.
Listen with your heart.
Clean a neighbour's walk.
Offer a Hug.
Give an unexpected gift.
Say "hello" (doesn't this one make you think about how many times we don't say a simple hello?)
Open a door.
Thank a teacher.
Give blood.
Leave a thank you note.
Be tolerant.
Let another go first.
Give a compliment.
Offer a ride.
Forgive mistakes.
Drive courteously.
Share a smile.
