RAOK

Random Acts Of Kindness.....while this is something that we should really be doing all year long, it seems that the holidays are a nice reminder to just be kind. Even something as simple as holding open the door for a stranger or wishing them a happy holiday can really make someones day.

We went to a play at the Valentine Theater last week, it was a Christmas play and there were lots of little kids there. Since it was cold out and the holiday season I let Brayden wear his Santa hat. He wore it through most of the show but apparently took it off at some point and I didnt notice. We left the theater and headed out to the lobby to see Santa and head home. As we were putting coats and gloves on I realized the Santa hat was missing. We went back to look in the theater but it was gone, someone must have taken it :( We checked the lost and found but it was not returned there. Brayden was so bummed. One of the ushers who was helping us look for the hat saw how upset Brayden was and offered him the santa hat that she was wearing (all of the ushers had on santa hats in various colors and styles) I thought that was incredibly kind of her. She didnt have to do that but that simple gesture really made Brayden's day.

I was in line at Tim's (Hortons) the other day (my other love besides my husband hehehe! ) and the car ahead of me paid for my order, I was blown away that someone that I didnt even know and would never even be able to thank would do something so nice for a stranger. It really stuck with me and reminded me that people are good.

So pass it along, do something nice for someone that you dont know and brighten their day :)
