Random Acts of Kindness: Day 3

Share

It’s Day 3 of Random Acts of Kindness Week. Have you performed an act of kindness? It need not be something big, it could be even as small as sharing a smile with someone. We’d love to hear about something you’ve done for someone else, or something someone did for you!

Here are today’s suggestions:

  • Tell someone who works for the public—a teacher, police officer, nurse, mail carrier, etc.—how much you appreciate his or her service.
  • Find out what item your nearest animal shelter needs, and donate it.
  • Offer to babysit for free for a family you know.
  • Write a letter to someone who made an impact on you.
  • Leave your waiter/waitress/barista a generous tip.

We are celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week all this week by offering several suggestions each day of ways to be kind to others. Yesterday Michael shared with us that he helped a woman whose car had broken down in traffic. We’d love to hear more stories about your acts of kindness!

Here are today’s suggestions:

  • Go through your closet and find several items to donate to charity.
  • Pay for someone behind you in the drive-thru.
  • Share your umbrella with someone who doesn’t have one.
  • Refrain from making negative comments this week.
  • Bring unexpected snacks for coworkers or deliver treats to neighbors.

Random Acts of Kindness Week 2012

Share

 

This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week, when we’re all reminded to do something kind for one another. In a way it’s oxymoronic, to perform a “random” act during a non-random time period. Yet, it’s a powerful idea: millions of people around the world performing acts of kindness during a set period, serving to multiply the effect.  Just as we have a day to honor all parents, or veterans, why not a time to remind ourselves of the importance of extending kindness?

Each day this week we’ll have ideas for acts of kindness for you to consider trying.  You can find more ideas at the Random Acts of Kindness website, or helpothers.org site. And we’d love to hear your own ideas, or hear about what happens when you perform an act of kindness! Tell us in Comments.

Below are today’s (easy) ideas:

  • Smile at a minimum of five people
  • Hold the door open for someone
  • Pick up trash on your street
  • Let the person behind you in line go ahead of you
  • Call a friend you haven’t seen in awhile just to say “hi”

For more ideas, see the Be Kind: Kindness Ideas Page.
