"Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty"
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness? Don't you feel just wonderful, makes your day or afternoon or what have you, doesn't it?
Have you ever practiced random acts of kindness? I have and its amazing how a SIMPLE gesture can bring so much pleasure to someone.
Perhaps a simple gift of putting a little more money in the parking meter as you are leaving so the next person pulls up and has 'free time'
Or leaving a sleeve of new golf balls on the first tee
In "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (a great read) by Richard Carlson he mentions someone that paid the toll for the car behind them when paying theirs. Imagine how happy you'd be if you pulled into the toll booth and the toll collector said, "It's already paid"
Recently there has been the K-Mart Secret Santa who pays random lay-a-way balances.
Also there is a man visiting shops in Reading, PA and handing out $100 bills. This was the story that I saw LINK
Here's a synopsis of his intent and deeds.
Hopefully you can think of some original simple acts of kindness and throw a little kindness around
The world could certainly use it!!
