Remember to let me know you're own little Acts of Kindness in the Comments
Kind Act Count to Date: 38
Day 10 We are half way to the target of 71 Kind Acts already! You have astonished me with your selflessness, and I can already feel the world becoming a better place because of your altruism and dedication to small kindnesses.
But do not flag! There are fully three weeks left, and with a rush and a push we can make it to a hundred Kind Acts. I am sure of it. Sweet Potato Queen gave some spare ribs to a neighbour, and Kate gave some napkins to an ungrateful man - if those aren't stories to inspire and delight you, then you must have a heart of the hardest stone.
I bought the Big issue today - it's a magazine sold by homeless vendors, and they get to keep some of the proceeds. I'd kind of got out of the habit of buying it. The vendors must always have been there, but somehow they'd become invisible and unimportant to me. I think the 31 Days of kindness experiment opens your eyes a bit; reminds you of a few good things you can easily do, but which you forget in the daily grind.
