This week, I was challenged by my friend in my Arts and Humanities class to do three random acts of kindness. It sounded like a great idea, something really different and heart warming. So, I decided that this weekend, I was going to make sure that I did not fail his task.
My first act of kindness was a weather related one. I took my shovel and shoveled my entire driveway for my dad without being asked... at 4:00 in the morning. I didn't want him to have to shovel his way out, so I got it done before he even woke up.
The second act involved, yet again, a shovel and snow. I walked down my street to an elderly person's house. I know that he rarely ever gets out because he is so handicapped by age. I shoveled his entire driveway and sidewalk. I hope he appreciated it.
My third act was different from the others. I left flowers on random cars in Walmart's parking lot. I know that sounds weird, but the flowers were cheap since Valentines day was over, and I simply left them on the cars. There's nothing more exciting than seeing something nice unexpectedly left for you.
I think there should be a law where everyone must perform a single act of random kindness a week. Imagine if all of the people in daviess county did something kind for another person, that would be well over 75,000 kind acts each week. The world would be such a better place! Maybe my dreams are too far fetched, but it's nice to imagine a better world. For now, I'll just keep to my own random acts of kindness.
