Give a little love!!!!
Friday, February 27, 2015Ok so I'm not really religious, and I don't usually give up anything for lent. But this year I heard about an idea which I've kind of adapted for myself. Basically instead of giving up for Lent, you give OUT in the form of giving to others. This is something I feel really passionate about. I've been in some very bad situations in my life, it's been tough, and scary and horrible and exhausting and some days it still is; but there have always been people who have given an act of kindness at those times to let me know I'm not alone. I've been very lucky and have already taken steps this year to start giving back but this was a more official route. There is so much hatred and sadness every time you turn on the news, why can't we all in our own small ways make people's lives better each day? It really doesn't take much.For me, a chat with a nurse while I'm in for treatment makes me feel loved and welcomed, someone pulling out a mat for me in drama class because I'm knackered means tonnes because someone cares, a hug, kind words, being polite, a lovely text, a little card (post in particular makes my day!). All cheer me up. Most of these things are free or less than a couple of pounds. Anyway here are my last 9 days of RAK's random acts of kindness, I hope they inspire you.
