Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la. Just singing that line brings a smile to my face and makes me feel good, but what about making others feel good? What about practicing some random acts of kindness each day, they don’t have to be big or cost anything. I like to give away “hellos” and “smiles” it is great to watch the reaction of those you give them to. I was doing Christmas shopping yesterday, and because I have waited so long the crowds and lines were amazingly long, so I decided to put on my happy face and smile and give a few hellos and thank yous away (making sure if they were to a sales person that I used their name). The day was great for me and my encounters went well. I loved getting good positive reactions from the people who helped me and those that I just randomly saw, made eye contact with and said hello to. I know it has been said many times before but “what a great place this world would be if we all practiced a little more kindness.” The link below is a story about someone who has decided that random acts of kindness is the way to go, I think you will really enjoy it and it may give you a few ideas to try yourself. Fa, la la la la, la la la la!
