It's coming, it's coming...

Next week is Random Acts of Kindess Week. Most of the people I know are really good people. Many of them routinely practice kindness--both of an intentional nature and random nature--on an ongoing basis. It is who they are. They don't do it for praise or for something in return. They just do it because it is the right thing to do.

As with many things in my life, I am not operating at the level I'd like to be when it comes to being kind. My good intentions don't come to fruition nearly as often as they should.

Next week will serve as a great reminder for me to get in gear and be a kinder person to everyone. Being kind doesn't have to be a really big thing. It can be a smile or letting someone in a lane of traffic when everyone else is whizzing by.

I hope you'll join me in this effort to make the world a kinder place. If you have kids, have them join along, too. There are tons of ideas and ways to incorporate this with kids here. Check it out!
