Random Acts of Kindness

I decided to talk about "Random Acts of Kindness" because it happened to me today. I usually do a coffee run to Tim's each morning and as usual, I picked up a coffee for my husband and I and when I arrived at the window to pay I was informed that the woman in front of me had paid for my order. I was pleasantly shocked and left the window with a huge smile that I could not remove from my face for the rest of the morning. Such a small act with such a huge impact. It immediately inspired me to want to do the same for someone else - they say kindness is contagious. It really got me thinking of how much better our world would be if everyone did one act of kindness everyday.
