On Monday, I got something called a Happy Mommy Box. It was the sweetest thing ever and had items just for me and E. One of the gifts inside of it was a necklace by Caroline G. I started to follow this woman on Instagram, and needless to say, she inspired me. She has been giving away coffees at Starbucks, Balloons just because. It is truly an inspiration.
So many times in our day to day routine we are just stagnant and trying to get by. I know that I come home and see E and am more than excited. But I find myself in this rut every day. I am dragging my feet through the day and just trying to get to Friday for the weekend. But this week changed after getting the necklace from Caroline G and from seeing her Instagram account.
So after seeing this, it inspired me. Why aren't we doing more things just out of the kindness of our hearts? Why aren't we motivated to do things for others, just because. On Thursday I started my day by buying a coffee for the man behind me at Dunkin Donuts. I didn't know him. He didn't ask for it. I am sure that it was just his routine coffee day. I wanted to do something nice.
This changed my day. It gave me a new perspective. I was so happy and I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. It motivated me and drove me that day. Why aren't we doing more random acts of kindness in our weekly routines and day to day routines.
So now, I have made the decision that once a week. Once a week, I am going to start doing a random act of kindness. Someone could be having the worst day ever. Someone could just need a little love in their life. Could you imagine what could happen if everyone started doing one random act of kindness a week?
I hope that I can show someone love by my actions.
