Today is the first day of the project.
I have made the commitment to do one act of kindness every day for at least 30 days, beginning today. Some of these acts of kindness will be spontaneous and others will be planned. Either way, I am determined to change my corner of the world, one kind act at a time.
Today, the act of kindness was unplanned. My friend Sue (not her real name) was planning to walk to her destination, only a few short blocks away. She does not drive and it was threatening to rain. I gave Sue a ride, and just as we buckled our seat belts, the clouds opened with a downpour. Sue was relieved not to be caught in the rain, and I was glad to have been in the right place at the right time.
Even though this was such a small thing, I believe that small acts done with great love and compassion are what will change the world; I am going to begin that change in the world by changing the person that I see in the mirror.
Join me on my journey, even if you can only stay for a month, a week, or even just a few days!
