Do some good....

Never underestimate the power of kindness.  We get so busy in our lives that we forget to do the little things which mean so much. All it takes is a kind word, a wink of the eye, a bright smile to make someone’s day. Imagine how you make people feel when you hold the door for for a harried mother or help an elderly woman with her packages. Little things that take little time, yet mean so much.

Little things that make the world a better place. What may seem like a small gesture on our part may actually make a big difference in someone's world.  No matter our situation in life, it's easy to spread kindness. Few of us are meant to be the Mother Theresa’s or Oprah’s of the world (and God bless them), but we can still make a real difference in people’s live.Start off small - one or two acts of kindness a week, graduate to one every day, and soon you will be incorporating these small acts of kindness into your daily routine without even realizing it. It will become second nature to be kind, helpful, and thoughtful. And couldn’t we all use a little more of that in our lives?

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• When you’re in line at your favourite coffee drive-through in the morning, pay for the person’s coffee behind you.  You will make their day!
• Put a little extra change into someone’s parking meter who’s time is running out.They won’t ever know, but they’ll appreciate that they don’t have a ticket on their windshield!
• Volunteer at a food bank……

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
