Today is also Random Acts of Kindness Day!
Random Acts of Kindness Day is a day to celebrate and encourage random acts of kindness. "It's just a day to celebrate kindness and the whole pay it forward mentality",
said Tracy Van Kalsbeek, executive director of the Stratford Perth
Community Foundation, in 2016, where the day is celebrated on November
4. It is celebrated on September 1 in New Zealand and on February 17 in
the US.
The earliest call for people to Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty appeared in the
July 1985 issue of the countercultural journal “Whole Earth
Review”. The California-based writer Anne Herbert penned an article
titled “Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty”. Herbert's book Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty was published in February 1993 speaking about true stories of acts of kindness.
Our
Mom has been practising RACSAB since she read the book back in
1994 for some courses she was running. We believe that helping others, paying
it forward and gratitude are all important for our life. One of our favorite sites to visit is the Random Acts of Kindness. If you want to get inspired, learn more about cultivating kindness, become a Ractivitst, or read the Kind blog, it's all on the Random Acts of Kindness site.
Mom particularly likes their Calendars (that way she just has to look at the calendar to see what would be a kind thing to do that day.

I think it is so important to always be kind.
Kindness is what the whole world needs a ton of right now...wait, maybe millions of tons!
Sometimes I buy things, unasked and then give them to the residents I look after. I hardly ever tell anyone I am doing that, but some of those peeps have lots of nothing. Esp now that they are not even allowed visitors, Sheesh.
What really hurt my soul, was I had bought a few things for one particular lady, for a Christmas gift...but she passed away due to the evil virus only two weeks before...so my gift was not given/received:(
I saved it to gift someone else with when I discover the next lady who likes to have pretty hair things:)
I gave that selfsame lady a bit of home-made jewelry when she lost a necklace...she was so happy, it just warmed my soul.
to be kind is a thing what a lot of people furget when the times are rough... although that is the time for being extra kind, right?
Heck I try to be kind. The random part comes from donating to help pull a shelter cat I guess.
I like your pictures :)
I also believe in kindness. It is so important.

We feel nice and good feeling when we reach out to others in kindness.
Being kind gives a good feeling knowing you have made someone else feel better. Cinnie looks like she is enjoying the snow.
YOUR CAT GRASS! I'm so jealous! I killed ours within a week. Bear's NOT happy.
What a great group photo. We try our best to pay it forward whenever we get the moment. It's helpful to us and it's helpful to the other folks.
Nice five photos. You kitties outside look quite chilly. Cat bro Bert won't even try to run away in the winter because he doesn't like the cold. We love kindness, hopefully the world can find more of it.
We think the each and every day should be a random act of kindness day!
Purrs,

You all look cute in your pictures today. We show kindness to our pawrents every day, especially at breakfast and dinner time.
You are all darling in your photos today. I love the idea of random acts of kindness and it should be practiced each and every day. Good post!
Beautiful creatures, I feel like stroking them and hugging them all! ☺
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Love the collage. Nothing better than kitties. Nothing. Okay maybe puppies.
Kindness is something we need to dole out 365 days a year. I try hard to do that.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches all around and a big hug and lots of love to the mom. ♥

And the kindness is a way of changing the world, as soon as possible,
starting with this moment!

Random acts of kindness should be performed every day. Looks like the only one enjoying the snow is Cinny.
That's a great story graphic.
And yes, it is so important to be kind and thoughtful. Our next door neighbor has terminal brain cancer. Mom has been bringing a meal over to the family and baking some sweets to try to help out.
Our human sister has a nonprofit organization that is geared for children and helps them find ways to be "kind". It is called Kindcraft.
Have a great day.

Kindness carries a certain lovability with it. Keep kindness beside you always. You never know when it will be called for.
