Be Kind On Purpose: 25 Random Acts Of Kindness
loversiq

Recently it was Random Acts of Kindness Week, but we should NOT limit our kindness to 7 out of the 365 (366) days we are given. Kindness should be spread every single day because of its capability to change the world. This world is filled with so much hate and angst, it’s time to spread some goodness.

RELATED: With Love

I challenge you to be kind on purpose by doing one kind thing a day. I make it a goal to do three things every single day:

  1. Make someone laugh.
  2. Make someone smile.
  3. Encourage someone.

It does not seem like a lot, but if I can turn someone’s day around and make them happy for a small moment, I am going to do it. It does not take a lot of time or effort to be kind to those around you. You never know, you just might change’s a person’s life.

Here’s 25 Acts of Kindness:

  1. Write a Handwritten Letter
  2. Bake Someone Something Sweet
  3. Leave Someone a Positive Sticky Note
  4. Clean Gym Equipment When Done
  5. Write Chalk Messages on the Sidewalk
  6. Make A Meal
  7. Volunteer for Your Favorite Organization/Charity
  8. Send a Care Package
  9. Hold the Door Open
  10. Tell a Joke
  11. Return Someone’s Cart at the Store
  12. Call a Loved One
  13. Teach Someone Something New
  14. Say “Hello” to Everyone You See
  15. Smile at Everyone
  16. Tell Someone How Great They Are
  17. Buy A Coffee for a Stranger
  18. Set the Table for Dinner
  19. Walk Dogs at an Animal Shelter
  20. Plant Something
  21. Bring Flowers to Someone You Appreciate
  22. Talk to Someone New at School or Work
  23. Let Someone Go Ahead of You in Line
  24. Send a Card to a Service Member
  25. Leave Head’s Up Pennies on the Sidewalk

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
