SHARING AND CARING
"There is a bumper sticker that has been out for some time now. It says, "Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty." Practicing random kindness is an effective way to get in touch with the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. It's best practiced without letting anyone know what you're doing. There is no prescription for how to practice random kindness. It comes from the heart. Your gift might be to pick up litter in your neighbourhood, make an anonymous contribution to a charity, send some cash in an unmarked envelope to make someone experiencing financial stress breathe a little easier, save an animal by bringing it to an animal rescue agency, or get a volunteer position feeding hungry people at a church or shelter. You may want to do all these things, and more. The point is, giving is fun and it doesn't have to be expensive. If we all do our own part, pretty soon we will live in a nicer world."
Extracted from "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF ... and it's all small stuff" by Richard Carlson Ph.D.
Think about this and send in your views on how we can work together to make this world a nicer place to live in.
