Now the 'Acts of Kindness' part of out title.
I figure that everyone can use a little bit more kindness in their life, don't you? Of course you do!
A little while ago my mom challenged me and my little sister to do something. She challenged us to do at least one act of kindness a day. That doesn't seem hard, does it? Well believe it or not it is challenging. Every day you have to look for one nice thing to do, but not something so simple as opening the door for someone or carrying their books. Something harder. For example; one day my mom went out of her way and bought a drink for my aunt and took it to her house. Another time my little sister made my moms bed. These things aren't super hard, but you do have to go out of your way.
So I would like to challenge you to do something. It's not very hard, but it does require some patience and hard-thinking. Maybe. I would like to challenge you to do at least one act of kindness a day. I will also do it, so don't worry, your not doing this alone.
It is said that people who give out of themselves are the happiest people. I mean have you ever seen someone is so completely caught up in themselves and are super selfish, have you ever seen them truly happy?
So try to do this. You can do it for one week, or maybe two. How about trying it for a month? Or, you could do through the rest of this school year, or through the whole summer. If you do it frequant enough it may become a habit. After all, it only takes 21 days for something to become a habit. And this may not be such a bad one.
