February 17th, is a special day it is known as Random Acts of Kindness Day so what will you today to observe this very special day? Do you know what this is all about, if not I’m about to share it with you. Come on sit back an get comfortable for I know you will want to know all about this. First you must know and understand just what it is that kindness means. Kindness to me is defined as an act that positively influences the life of both the giver and the receiver. It doesn’t have to cost money or be difficult to perform. It can be spontaneous (random) or premeditated. It can be as simple as a smile or a thank you, and as complicated as starting a non-profit organization to benefit those in need.
Kindness has four working parts: dignity, respect, compassion, and humility, If you have all of these things for yourself, then you will be able to share them with others. If we reach out with dignity, respect, compassion, and humility, we are likely to feel it being returned.
Actively seeking out opportunities to assist others will naturally bring a certain amount of warmth and feeling of self-worth to each of us. It feels good to help others and others feel good knowing someone wants them to help.
“Consideration” and “helpful” are words often used to describe a kind deed.
Kindness is what you define it as, rather than what someone else thinks you should believe it is.
I suggest all people actively attempt to live by my phrase, “Today I will commit one random act of senseless kindness. Will You?”
Now I am going to list three An act that positively influences the life of both the giver and the receiver is a kindness. It doesn’t have to cost money or be difficult to perform.

So what will you do as your random act of kindness? Run an errand for my neighbor who does not drive, buy the person behind me at lunch their meal, compliment someone I see often , or send a card to a friend or a few thought on what I will do. See it is so easy we should do this everyday not just have a holiday for being kind. I encourage each of you to take part and be kind today. Will You, play with me? If so what do you plan on doing?

Hello I love your blog and the post about tomorrow being Random Acts of Kindness Day is great! I linked over from Michele’s blog where you said you wanted to learn scapbooking as a hobby.
I learned it a few years back and all I have to say is BEWARE it is addictive and CAN become costly. But it is a fun way to caputre memories.

I’ll pay for the person behind me’s lunch at a drive thru tomorrow. Normally, I do try to compliment someone on something. Thanks Victoria for the information on tomorrow.

Today, i’ll have to settle for not booting the cat in the hindparts - she’s being a total underfoot nuisance. You, however, i heart
