I know I shave my legs before going to the doctor, stop and allow pedestrians to cross in parking lots, avoid littering and will occasionally call a friend just to let them know they’re on my mind. But really, do these things have that much of an impact on others or does it just make me feel better? My new goal is to, at least once a week, practice a random act of kindness. One that will put a smile on someone’s face or make their day a little brighter. Chances are they will one day ‘pay it forward.’ I’m going to start today by paying a complete stranger a compliment, *click here for update*

It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
