Come together, right now

Random Acts of Kindness Week begins February 12. During this week, people are encouraged to extend goodness to others without thought of return. It's doing for others just because we can.

Ann Lander's column was one of the first places I read about something that I have done for many years. Just be nice to someone you don't even know. She wrote of this kind and new tradition. Buy the groceries for the person in front of you at a store, shovel a neighbor's walk, drop off cookies at the home of a single person, mail a care package to a soldier, there are many easy, thoughtful ways to show someone a kindness.

Here is mine for you. May each person who reads this blog on the day they read this post receive a kindness from someone and notice it so they can blog it.

Let's see what happens.
