10 Random Acts of Kindness for the New Year
At one time or another we all may think about turning over a new leaf as the New Year begins and how this year will be different for each and every one of us. I figured since we have started a new year and we now have a new president, that this would be wonderful opportunity for a fresh start. Perhaps something as little as doing things for a stranger or to make someone’s day or to just give a little of yourself, you can and will make a difference. Below I will list 10 random acts of kindness they are very simple and do not require a lot of work or time and every task may have big benefits for the receiver of the random act of kindness. Sometimes the smallest gesture goes a long way. Try it and see.
