Week #47 LIFE'S simple pleasures - Random Acts of Kindness
Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty, was written by Anne Herbert back in 1982. I fit somewhere in between Generation X and Generation Y... so I'm part of the (older) MTV generation.... and I think it was time that kids in the 1980s took a stand for something other than their neon work out gear and watching the Breakfast Club.
It was time to show some kindness. We are the world you know?
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
I think one of the cool things about a RAK is really not planning on what you are going to do and who you are going to do it for. Thus the word RANDOM....
But for some people who plan (and maybe it's a good thing, so that you have the extra 'stuff' you need to complete the task at hand) here are some more ideas:
Put money in an expired parking meter, pick up trash, give your waitress a huge tip, when grocery shopping pick up extras for a food bank, leave a smiley face post it note on the back of a door, return a shopping cart, leave pennies on the side of a fountain for others to make a wish, take time to really listen when someone has something to say....
No act of kindness however small is ever wasted - Aesop
A little spark of kindness can put a colossal burst of Sunshine into someones day.
