Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Birthday Kindness Challenge


--by Bluebell, posted May 5, 2012

I had a ‘eureka’ moment today.  It was an idea for celebrating my birthday month :).



I’ve decided to do 1 act of kindness for each year of life.  Oops, I’ve just assigned myself to a whopping .... number of  acts of kindness during this month!



I started my mission to do my whooping number of acts of kindness today.   



I visited an old friend (over 80 years old) and spent some time with her. I took her recycling (I also had some of my own in the car) to the recycling site where I had to wait more than half an hour. I noticed that one of the people working at the site went from car to car explaining the delay and also let us know when we could go and dump our stuff, and then at the end he said “thank you” to everyone.



Of course I could not let this opportunity go ;) so I offered him one of my lucky stones and a smile card and he was very happy.



Later, I visited a friend and took her a home made cake and home made juice.



So not bad for a start ... but believe me there is still a long way to go… :)
