The little things count

“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you’ll look back and realize they were big things.”

Little acts of kindness may be only a speck in your eyes, but to someone else may make their whole day. KIK week in our community isn’t only for this week, but rather a reminder to spread kindness every single day in any way you can!  Here’s just a few of the many ways to do so:

  • Say hi to someone you’ve never said hi to before

  • Smile at someone

  • If someone dropped some papers, help pick them up

  • Give someone a compliment

  • Help neighbors with yard work

  • Write someone a friendly note

  • Make a donation

  • Wish them luck in an upcoming event they’re participating in

  • Tell someone your favorite thing about them

  • Always say please and thank you

  • Do they look lost? Even if you are in a rush, give them directions

  • Offer someone a seat at lunch

  • If you find money, turn it in to the office, teacher, etc.

  • Leave a generous tip at a restaurant

  • Pick up trash in the hallway, classroom, etc.

  • Offer someone a writing utensil or a piece of paper if they forgot one

  • Pay for someone’s lunch if they are short money, or better yet, randomly

  • Forgive someone of a debt and never mention it again

  • When driving, give other drivers the benefit of the doubt

  • If someone looks sad or lonely, be a friend for them

  • If someone is injured or looks as if they are having trouble, help them carry their books
