I was taught by my parents at a very young age through example of my parents being such advocates of performing random acts of kindness that by doing so you can literally change the course of someone's day or life. You never know when someone is on the brink, on the edge of sadness or despair and your small act of kindness can bring them back to reality and change the course of their life. Whether it is simply smiling at someone and saying hello as you open a door for them, or as I do very often, offer a helping hand to an elderly person by shoveling their sidewalk, or bringing them a home baked casserole, just doing something effortless on your part can make a huge impact on someone else's life. That is how I choose to brighten the days of others and I hope by my own acts I am teaching my children the same level of important this is as my own parents did with me.<br /><br />joannaonthelake@gmail.comjoannaonthelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903846641559201417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232215440913370764.post-76964018535610781632009-11-04T22:08:21.432-08:002009-11-04T22:08:21.432-08:00I brighten the lives of others by being polite and...I brighten the lives of others by being polite and thoughtful.
