Random Acts of Kindness Ideas
It can be so easy to find ways to be kind to others. This is especially true when you know how simple it really is, and how great an impact one small act of kindness can have on others.
Some random acts of kindness may cost you some money, and some may take some advanced planning. But many are completely free - all they require is a small amount of your time, and the sincere desire to help someone else.
Send a card or note to a child who could use a little extra attention. Kids love getting mail.
Hold the elevator.
Drop a few coins in an area where children play, where they can easily find them.

Pass along a great book you have finished reading, or leave it somewhere for someone else to read.
Volunteer your time at a non-profit or charitable organization.
Bring donuts, cookies, or any other tasty treat to work to share with your coworkers.

SMILE!!
