Random Acts.

We've all had a lot of time to think.  To reflect.  To ponder.  To wonder.

I've been thinking a lot about the what ifs.  What if we were kinder to each other.  What if we changed our tone.  What if we tried to understand each other.  What if we promoted tolerance instead of fear.  What if we stopped fighting so hard to make others believe that our way is right, and theirs is wrong.  What if we promoted what we love instead of bashing what we hate.

I've decided to partake in random acts of kindness, this week, and next year.  It will be my goal to do something nice for strangers at least once a week: buy someone a coffee, tape a dollar to the vending machine, scrape a windshield, give out high fives, bake cookies for the students, foot the bill for the person behind me in the drive through. 

Because what if that's all it took.  Because what if someone pays it forward.  Because being kind is the easiest thing we can do; it's what we should do.
