Love these. All of them brought a smile. The power of kindness!

I loved every part of this post, but the part that made me giddy with glee was the Irish jig.

In terms of giving back, I have arranged to conduct 4 sessions with very senior seniors (ages between 88 and 95) where we discuss a few ideas from Hannah and Alfred, and then I will encourage those who want to write a few thoughts (or they might dictate to me). I have some good prompts for the first two sessions. I will report back. In the past, I have heard from this group who I've worked with before that the most appreciative of this were their kids and grandkids, but whatever I've helped to maybe give them, they have given me many times over.

Thanks for all the lovely examples of random acts of kindness.

I LOVE how everyone on that flight seemed to know the words to the song!

And I really love what Bryan is doing. I've always dreamed of doing kind things on a large scale but alas...that tales money! I do small stuff like pay for the person behind me in a drive-thru. It makes me feel good to make someone else's day.

Thanks for the inspiration, Heather! Great stories. I downloaded the RAK bingo. I can do THREE of those things today! Happy week to you!

What wonderful stories. Thx for sharing. I try to be kind always. I wish the grumpy folks knew that it actually takes a lot more energy to be angry or mean than it does to be nice and helpful.

Yay Heather. Great stories, good people.

I was so impressed, I’ve decided to commit no crimes for the next 30 days. If I succeed, I’ll role it over for the next 30 days and so forth.

We need to start where we are.

I'd say considering that there are billions of people, not to mention animals that we share this planet with, I'd venture to say that there are many thousands of random acts of kindness happening as I type this. I just can't wait until reports of those fine acts replace all the negativity we're inundated with. Thanks Heather, unfortunately I read too much news today, so I especially needed the boost of all of the above neurotransmitters.

Thank you for this! I wish there was a RAK news segment on ALL news stations because it seems like they only prefer to report the negative shit.
