Random Acts of Kindness

I recently have come into a whirl wind of Random Acts of Kindness!
It is amazing how these little acts
of kindness can make one feel. The other day I got a handful of roses from a complete stranger, the funny thing is it just happened to be my birthday. This is something they did not know. At my age you don't like to go around announcing that! But ever since then I have noticed I seem to be the recipient of small acts of kindness everywhere I go. Maybe this is not something new but I just have become more attuned to. I consider these acts a pure gift of human kindness. It reminds me in my busy life.... that people have a beautiful nature about them. It also makes me want to go out and commit these same good acts. They don't have to be large it can be something quite small.... letting someone in, in a high traffic area....a friendly smile... a polite comment. Helping someone with a task even if you don't like to do it yourself. Here is the thing to keep in mind though..... it's never for the thankfulness of the recipient maybe they will not be aware of the gestures. Just do it to be nice, thoughtful and loving of others. Maybe...just maybe, what comes around goes around!
