Random Acts of Kindness Day 2022
 |
Once upon a time I was a gruff redneck ruffian with little in the way of kindness in my soul. Over the years I have calmed down somewhat and with all that water under the bridge I've seen a lot that was previously unknown to me.
The acquisition of technical information and skills over time changed my direction. After several mistakes along the way I at least attempt to take other people into consideration prior to going off the deep end anymore.
This has caused me to take pause before acting and that in itself has resulted in the kinder, gentler Dave of the present.
Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beautyIt's become a recurring theme in my life. I continually attempt to live up to the notion. Many times I fail miserably. Other times I rise to the occasion. Regardless, I try to keep it as a tenet in my life.
I used to see art contests for school children touting random acts of kindness. I can recall being touched by a number of them given the child like innocence of the drawings coupled with the very adult admonition that kindess and beauty are importent elements of the world today.
Random Acts of Kindness Day is that day to celebrate and encourage random acts of kindness. The day is observed February 17 in the US. It is also celebrated on other days elsewhere.
