My son brought home from school a list of 'Kind Things' to do this week.
Nothing big, just small gestures -
Pick up some street litter
Help someone with their books
Say a quiet Thank You to a school cafetaria helper
Listen to your teacher the first time (not sure he managed this one!)
Smile at 25 people
Make a new friend
Be helpful at home
Pat someone on the back
Offer a helping hand
etc etc
Luca helped the child sitting next to him at school with her math problem. As a Thank You, the next day she gave Luca a little box with a clay giraffe she had made, a die within a die (double dice) and a tiny note of thanks. How lovely is that. It was so unexpected and he was delighted (he's had a tough week and so this really put a smile on his face).
I think if we all tried a little act of kindness everyday, there would be a lot more smiles and happy hearts in this world (including our own).
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
And don't forget to be a little kind to yourself too!
