Random acts of kindness

I had seen this pinterest on "Random acts of kindness" and was totally blown away with it. I thought to myself that this would be something that I would want to do, something on my bucket list for sure.
Well, the day has dawned. Today was my day to do random acts of kindness.
I filled the day with small acts, that meant nothing to me and went from a very "me" oriented person to totally not caring about "me" today. It has given me a very different perspective of life and what "being blessed" is actually about...

My random people for today were: a store sales clerk, the mail man, a lady on the wheelchair I met a Food Lion, the amazing people who work at the library and the service and office staff at my apartment complex. Although, there was one more stop on my list for today, the fire station close to my house, I did not get to it, due to two very tired and ready for nap kids. So I decided I am extending my celebration to tomorrow as well.

What an amazing feeling...to see some stranger have tears in their eyes and bless you...to see some one smile and feel on top of the world, all because you cared and gave them the gift of feeling special.

Thank you for the pinterest share ( Cindy!) it was an amazing idea and gave me way more gifts in a completely unfathomable way on my birthday!

I am going to make it my birthday tradition to be followed from the years hence!!
