Random Acts of Kindness Movement 2013

Hello everyone.  I hope that the second day of the year is treating you well and that you are giving it your all too.  Around November I had an idea for myself to begin a Random Acts of Kindness Movement for myself.  I have been blessed by so many people between family, friends and strangers that I figured I really wanted to make a conscious effort to return the good back to others.  The idea is pretty simple for whatever month you are on, you have to do that many random acts of kindness.  January = 1, February = 2 so on and so forth until we get to December where you are doing at least 12 randoms acts of kindness.  I was recently blessed with the opportunity to help someone and the high that I got from it was so overwhelming.  It doesn't even have to be a big thing either.  It could be something small from shoveling a neighbors yard or helping an elderly person to their car with their groceries.  You could also volunteer to babysit a friend's or family member's children so that they can run some errands in peace or have a date night.  It's really whatever you decide to do.  So many times we get caught up with our own problems and plights and if we just took a second to think about somebody else and actually turn that into an action, we would see so much in our own lives change.  I think this also takes some of the time and opportunity off of peoples hands to be mean and cruel and observe people being kind and actually try to attempt being kind themselves.  I really hope that this turns into something life changing for yourself and the people that you touch.  I will periodically do check in posts with the some of the acts that I have done to hopefully provide some ideas, motivation or inspiration.  If you choose to join me in this, I hope that you do the same so that I and others may get the same as well.  Let's change our worlds!
