February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Observed on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day has grown in popularity each year.  Not only is it special for the receiver, it also feels good as the doer!

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

-Leave the biggest tip that you can afford for a really nice waiter/waitress

-Smile at someone on the street, just because.

-Put a tip in the tip jar at a coffee shop, you'd be surprised how little that happens.

-Call your parents or grandparents to let them know you love them.

-Send anonymous flowers to a friend or coworker, they'll appreciate it.

-Help a random person out, whether it be getting a grocery item off the top shelf or helping to carry something heavy - they will appreciate it.

This is just a short list of things you could do!

Random acts of kindness is something that can be done everyday of the year.  

Here is a quote from Mark Twain:  "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see"

Happy National Random Acts of Kindness Day
