Snow and Kindness - 17 February - Random Acts of Kindness Day
Thursday, 17th February is “Random Acts of Kindness” Day. Of course it’s great to sprinkle kindness throughout everyday and I think most of us do that, but the aim of this day is to inspire a random act of generosity to brighten someone’s day without expecting anything in return.
You never know what sort of day a person is having and your random act could really make/change their day.
A few years ago I was having a super stressful day, nothing was going well AT ALL, meaning lots of set backs! My son had a swimming lesson but we were running really late and ended up missing the bus to the pool by a few seconds. A lady a few cars behind the bus saw what happened and offered us a lift to wherever we needed to go. She then drove out of her way to drop my two kids and I off at the pool. It changed the entire day, I was so touched by this ladies kindness and the day significantly improved from there!
On Random acts of kindness day the act can be really spontaneous, like in my story above or it can be a little more considered and planned. It also doesn’t have to be very grand or expensive. It can be as simple as calling a friend who you have not spoken to in a while, offering to babysit for a friend for free, or writing a handwritten note inside a pretty card.
It can also be buying a meal for homeless person, buying a stressed friend a voucher towards a massage, treating a family member to a meal, or buying some gift vouchers for a local coffee shop and giving them out randomly to people in that area. There are so many ways to show kindness!
