As a self-proclaimed champion of kindness I feel a bit caught off guard. I am totally unprepared for whatever I should be doing to advocate random acts of kindness week. And what a terrible day for a kick off of kindness as I am feeling totally drained of patience, excitement, and motivation. My sad act (that I will count for today and vow to do better tomorrow) was to take a woman's cart for her at the grocery store so she would not have to continue the distance to the corral. What a pitiful attempt. though I will point out that Phoebe Buffet would say no RAK is truly selfless because it always benefits the person completing the act (with a sense of do-gooding if nothing else). As luck would have it, the cart I took off the hands of that other shopper was the wrong size and I ended up not using it. Therefore I did not benefit and was rather disappointed that I had taken it from her to begin with. Success!
A short list of suggested RAKs from randomactsofkindness.org
Monday, Feb 11—Smile at 10 strangers.
Tuesday, Feb 12—Buy something for the person in the line behind you.
Wednesday, Feb 13—Reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a while.
Thursday, Feb 14—Bring a treat to a neighbor or your co-workers.
Friday, Feb 15—Donate your time or money to a local charity.
Saturday, Feb 16—Cook a healthy meal.
Sunday, Feb 17—Let someone go in front of you in line.
Might I add to this finding time to donate blood.
