Today is World Kindness Day!
I just caught wind that today is "World Kindness Day." What a great day! Since Oprah made the "Pay it Forward," random act of kindness pretty big a few years ago, I've wanted to take part in a day like this. I'm racking my brain on what random act of kindness I can do, today, that might make someone's day--something small and smile provoking.
What about you? Any plans of your own today? Have you ever been the receiver of a random act of kindness? I'd love to hear! Once, a stranger handed me a $20 bill at the grocery store as I was walking to checkout. She handed me the envelope, smiled and walked away. I was stunned, while it warmed my heart.
Thank you, Ann, of Jeremiah's Hope for Kindness for keeping up on all things kind in the world!

What a great idea for a day, though perhaps everyday should be kindness day :) xo. Cat
What a lovely thing to do! I'd love it if someone did that to me! I often do random acts of kindness, and I quite often have things happen back. Just the other day I dropped my favourite mittens but hadn't noticed and kept walking. A kind stranger picked them up and ran after me! A kind lady also once told me when the back of my dress was tucked into my underwear!! ;)
A stranger gave me a hug once. (With permission.) It was really sweet - and who doesn't need a hug?
I have been trying really hard lately to keep my eyes out for oppurtunities lately. I never can believe how blessed I feel after & it is so much fun even though I mean to keep them secret I always tell my husband :) I just can't resist :)
My husband is the kindness king & I am trying to learn from him...I doubt a day goes by that he doesn't help a stranger or friend...he is just wired that way!
Didn't know there was a kindness day but I should mark it on the calendar! LOVE the quote! & love reading Red Boots comment:)
