IT IS NATIONAL RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY!!!
Come and join me for a quick meet and greet at
Central Park in Burnaby at 1pm
I have been very fortunate to have been the recipient of many acts of kindness, especially 10 years ago when I was first diagnosed with a terminal lung cancer. The geocaching community was truly amazing in being ever so kind to me and there is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t give thanks to every single person that was there to help me out. I really believe that these acts of kindness were very instrumental in saving my life. Because of this I always try to be as kind as possible to everyone I meet.
Unfortunately I have also been the recipient of some not so kind treatment as well. People you consider friends that totally disregard the fact that you are suffering and in need of help or they simply just shut you out of their lives while you are going through rough times. They can be cruel and hurtful and I don’t think people realize how detrimental this kind of treatment is for anyone going through a difficult time in their lives. It could and does have very serious consequences.
Most people have no idea of the issues going on in the lives of the people around them – physical or mental health issues, financial difficulties, family problems, work problems and I could go on and on. You just don’t know!! A SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD TO A TOTAL STRANGER AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW.
While we should be kind and considerate every single day let’s try especially hard today to do acts of kindness for others. It can be as simple as a smile or saying hello to a stranger, buy someone a cup of coffee or put money into a meter that has run out of time.
FEBRUARY 17 IS NATIONAL RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS DAY SO LET’S BE VERY KIND TO EVERYONE - TODAY AND EVERY DAY!
