World Kindness Day

Kindness Day was born on November 13, 1997 and it is celebrated by countries all over the world.

To celebrate World Kindness Day, you don't need to fly across the globe and provide homes for everyone in need or give thousands and thousands to your local food pantry. While those would be wonderful things to do, this day is about little things.

What is one thing you can do today that would make someone else smile? Here are a few ideas:
  • Send someone in the military a card
  • Make an effort to smile more today
  • Encourage/compliment a friend or co-worker 
  • Write a handwritten note to a parent/grandparent
  • Stop by a nursing home and visit with 3 people
  • Say 'thank-you' and really mean it
  • Text 3 people just to say how awesome they are
  • Go on a walk and pick up litter
  • Invite someone over for dinner and cook them something fun (or just dessert?)
  • Volunteer an hour of your time
