Random Acts of Kindness

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving dinner. Christmas is only a month away and I'm sure all of you are thinking about gifts. When gift giving came into mind, I had to re-think what this time of year meant for me. Christmas sales and holiday clearance, it all seemed so material. Although I'll be forever stuck under the tyranny of commercialism, I wanted to explore outside my personal norms.

I signed up for the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. This group promotes kindness and hopes that you pass it on to others whether it's for the community or little things that you can do to put a little cheer in another's day. One of the things I'm doing this winter is to volunteer for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Dane County. They're always looking for help even if it's just an hour a week. I found them through VolunteerMatch.

So if you have an hour of your time this Winter break, look into some volunteering opportunities and make a difference in someone's life.

Be kind to one another. ;)
Get out. Do good.
