A to Z Challenge: K is for Kindness

Everyone needs more kindness in their lives. 

Today's post is short and simple.  Go forth and commit 5 random acts of kindness.

It's not that hard. Smile at a stranger.  Hold the door for someone.  Pay for the coffee for the person in line behind you at the drive through.  Buy a colleague lunch. Give someone flowers just because.  Tell someone something you admire about them.  Say thank you.  Do something unexpected and nice for someone else.  Surprise your kids with something simple, like a surprise dessert or a random movie night.  Tell the cashier something you like about their outfit.  Double your tip.  Tell your partner how beautiful or handsome they are to you.  Bring home or cook dinner as a surprise, especially if you are not usually the one who does it!  Do something, anything, nice for someone else. 

See, it's not that hard.  There are a gazillion things you can do for your immediate family, friends and co-workers let alone the countless strangers you meet every day.  It will make them have a better day and it will make you feel good about yourself, too. 

Love makes the world go round. 

I'd love to hear what your favorite random act of kindness was. Share what you did!  Post one random act of kindness you committed today and what the person's response was. Perhaps it will inspire us all to do it every day with mindfulness and ease.

Pay it forward.  Share the love.

Have fun! 

And hey, have a day as beautiful as you are!
