Well, I’m happy to report that Random Acts of Kindness Week is off and running! Are you using it as a totally awesome excuse to do good sh*t for others? Well, I have to hold myself liable for practicing what I preach, though any week, day or moment can be one of Random Acts of Kindness.
I kicked off the week with a fun little gesture. I had my follow up appointment with the podiatrist today to remove my stitches from surgery. I stopped by a local florist and had two bright and happy looking bouquets made up before heading over to the office. When I walked in, I handed one bouquet each to the two women who run the front of the business. Each time I come in there, they are both so sweet and have been more than patient answering my 101 questions.
The best part was how surprised they were – it seemed like they really couldn’t believe a patient would want to thank them in that way. And that made it sooooo incredibly worth it for me. Their gratitude made me smile, and I was just so happy to make them smile too.
How about you? Did you make someone smile today?
