Let's do some good in the world shall we. Lately there have been so many bad and negative things going on that I thought I would write a post about doing something good for someone else for a change. Doing something for someone can brighten up their day especially if it comes out of the blue and they are not expecting it. Not only will they feel good, but you will too. And who knows, you just might be the blessing that they needed for the day. Kindness doesn't have to be a big gesture, it can be something small. The point is to do something nice for someone else whether you know them or not.
Here is a list of 30 Random Acts of Kindness to get you thinking of something kind that you can do for someone today.
