Did you know that we have a National Random Acts of Kindness Day? I had a Random Act of Kindness made my day. I had someone pay for my coffee one day without me know it or knowing them. So, can you imagine if we join together and Celebrate National Random Acts of Kindness Day, we would have a lot of people walking around with smiles on their faces? Let’s do it!

As we all are so aware that Covid-19 is hindering us currently with many activities, so these 30 Random Acts of Kindness suggestions might need to be altered to fit into different guidelines. Maybe one day, we can get back to being able to bake a batch of cookies and take them to the fire station. But for now, a professional bakery or grocery store sweets will still make them smile and feel appreciated.
So you do you know which acts of kindness you are going to do for National Random Acts of Kindness Day? Don’t wait until the last day to plan it. If you are like me, you will let it pass.
