Small Acts, Post #9

Hey everyone! As, I think, everyone could have guessed at some point I would talk about random acts of kindness. Well that time is now! We all understand how random acts of kindness are good and make others feel good as well as yourself, but the question is more of how often do we do them? We should all be striving to do good deeds for others of course. However, how often do we actually seek out people to help? That help doesn’t always have to be monetary. Sometimes the biggest help comes from just lifting someone’s spirits.

This past week I hadn’t been having the greatest time. Life and other situations just seemed to keep piling up, but when my friends took me out to eat and go shopping that changed. We started off by having a nice lunch where we joked and chatted about life. Then it was off to our first store. There we met a really nice lady who was kind enough to give some fashion advice and really get my spirits up. My friends also had me trying on different outfits and joking around when they didn’t work at all. We also hit another store where me and one of the two friends got to give the third friend different outfits to try on. It was great being able to help him find new outfits, and give him ridiculous things to try on. I can’t thank them enough for always knowing what to do to make me feel better.

These are the kinds of things that we don’t normally associate with random acts of kindness. To tell you the truth it wasn’t until they did this for me that I though of it like that. These simple acts we nothing more to me than what anyone would do, but it is so much more than that when you are the one on the receiving end. Its truly amazing how such small seemingly insignificant acts can change an entire day around. This isn’t hard. It may be difficult at first to spot the people who aren’t having a good day, but the more we pay attention to people the faster and easier it will be. We can all also try to be more aware of when we do make someone’s day better. Give yourself some credit for taking action and that will help remind you to do it again.

Well I hope you all get to go and make someone’s day soon. I sincerely wish everyone a lovely day.
