Random Acts of Kindness
So on Northwest Afternoon today they had a couple on that came up with the random act of kindness card game as a way to help them cope with the loss of one of their twins. They had two sets of everything in anticipation of their two little babies but one of them was stillborn. A friend of theirs suggested they donate the extra set to families in need and it made such a difference in their lives they wanted that to continue. I have always loved the concept of random acts of kindness and believe they don't happen nearly as often as they should. So I am challenging myself and any of you out there to start performing R.A.K. as often as you can. I have heard of a time where someone at Starbucks started a chain reaction by buying the persons coffee in the car behind them and this went on for something like 120 customers and then some selfish schlub broke the chain even after his coffee had been taken care of by the person in front of him. It amazes me that many people would keep it going but it's an awesome thing! I've always let people in front of me in the grocery store if they have only one or two items but it will be exciting to try to come up with different acts of kindness. So to all you out there, start those random acts! Lets try to make this world a better place one act at a time!

I think that this idea could take some stress off a person. Like farting outloud so you give others the opportunity to walk away. Instead of the silent and deadly ones. Is that kind enough? You know I'm kidding. Right? I do like to be kind. But I try and be kind in a way, that they don't know it's me. But I am gracious in general. I think. Anyways, R.A.K is always a good thing.
