Friday is World Kindness Day...

Some holidays are just meant to be celebrated. I think now, more than ever, World Kindness Day is a must.

World Kindness Day is a holiday that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day is to help everyone understand that kindness is what binds us all together. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations. With kindness, we can overcome the divides of politics, race, religion, gender, and so much more. What began as an effort from the World Kindness Movement at a Tokyo conference 21 years ago is now a global movement reminding everyone of the power of kindness.
It doesn't take much to share a little kindness:

Smile when you walk by others
Write positive messages leave them for people to find
Call a relative you haven’t spoken to in a while 
Tidy up around your house
Pick up trash you see on the ground outside
Hold the door open for someone
Chat with a stranger and ask them about their day
Pay for a stranger’s coffee or meal
Compliment someone
Send a positive or encouraging text to five people in your contacts
Surprise someone with flowers
Tell a family member or friend you love them
Write a note on the receipt at a restaurant for your server 
Offer to help with someone’s errands
Give a surprise gift to someone you care about
Send a kind card or note to a friend
Plant a tree
Talk to someone new
Practice gratitude
Volunteer

Get creative and make your own list of kind acts for World Kindness Day! Fun.

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions,
and the roots spring up and make new trees.”
-Amelia Earhart
