Have you performed your random act of kindness today? What is a random act of kindness? A random act of kindness is when you give of yourself to someone else in an effort to make their day a little brighter. The act can be something simple, like smiling and saying hello to each person you meet or something a little bigger like paying the toll for the car behind you. Random acts of kindness have no rules or limits. It's just a matter of doing something unexpected for someone else.
Sending unexpected greetings cards are a good way to perform your daily random act of kindness. You can send greeting cards to anyone that you have an address for and add a little joy to their life. Here are some great reasons to send a greeting card today.
- It's their birthday, Valentine's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, etc...
- Send a greeting card just to say, "I appreciate you". Do they really know how valuable they are to you?
- Send a greeting card because you haven't seen them and want them to know you miss them.
- Say thanks for being my ...(son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, friend, wife, husband, etc...).
- Remind them of an exciting event that is coming up.
- Remind them of a neat experience you had together.
- Send a greeting card to tell them something special about yourself.
- Share a joke you just heard.
- Just to say you love them. Do you really need any more of a reason than that?
- Send a thank you greeting card to thank a neighbor for something you borrowed.
- Thank a business person for a job well done.
- Share something wonderful that you noticed about them.
- Send a greeting card to complement a server you had.
- Thank someone for a complement you received.
- Tell someone what they mean to you.
- Send a greeting card to someone you work with telling them what a great job they did on a project.
- Send a greeting card to your postal carrier for all their hard work.
- Thank the leaders in a non-profit organization you support.
- Or better yet, thank those that work hard but are not the leaders.
- Thank your children for all the wonderful memories they are giving you. They might laugh but I bet they will appreciate it anyway.
- Send a greeting card to yourself. Sometimes we forget to thank ourselves for putting up with everything we put ourselves through.
Will you be taking just a few minutes out of your busy schedule today to perform a random act of kindness?
