Today my boss had an idea, inspired by the tragic loss of a young woman in our community. Her parents asked our community to participate in a random act of kindness on her birthday here in our community.
My boss said, what if we do one random act of kindness every day for one year?
The idea struck me as life changing and fantastic. I readily and hungerly took the challenge.
Today my random act of kindess was calling retirement communities and see about volunteer opportinites. I have always had a very soft spot for the elderly. I have heard the horror stories of how days become to much to handle stuck in a "home" because you get bored, lonely, and no one comes to visit.
I figured what better way to start this challenge that to answer the long time knocking on my heart to serve the elderly.
I called 4 places in our town and am eagerly awaiting calls back. Will update.
