A picture drawn by my daughter. This random act of kindness made my week.
In Australia, the 17th of February is national random acts of kindness day.
I love kindness for 3 main reasons:
It costs nothing , so anyone can give it.
A small act can have a big impact.
It challenges us to look beyond our own needs and wants to see others.
A random act could be commenting on a post so that another Local Guide feels part of the Connect community, holding a door open for someone, or simply giving someone a smile.

@PaulPavlinovich please help. I was having trouble publishing this post, and now it’s appearing twice. Can you please delete this one or tell me how to do it? Thanks
I am so happy for the picture you wanted to share with us @JustineE , you made my day too.
BTW, I want to inform you that I merged your duplicate post. I am realizing just now you tagged @PaulPavlinovich for this action, BTW, what is done is done.
My beautiful Justine, how nice to read your post and see your smile. In Argentina we don’t have a celebration like that, but we could definitely use it.
Kindness is so necessary and benefits both the giver and the receiver.
I love to do small acts of kindness anonymously, years later and when I least expect it, that kindness comes back to me.
I send you a big hug from Argentina!
I love you, my friend!
Thank you so much @ErmesT . You have always been my knight in shining armour on Connect. Always having a kind or helpful word or suggestion. Thank you for helping me to feel part of this wonderful community right from the beginning
My beautiful friend @CaroGuiniazu . Thank you for your lovely words. I still wear your act of kindness around my wrist. I look at it and think of you and smile. I would love so much to see you again
Thank you for sharing this beautiful post and I hope everybody could spread the kindness not only on kindness day, but spread it everyday to each other.
Oh, sweet! I hope you enjoyed the day, @JustineE . I love that random acts are celebrated on a national level in Australia. Maybe one day it will be adopted by every nation.
Thanks @anu7spice . It is definitely nice to have a day like this so it is brought to the fore of people’s minds. It certainly made me think about what I could do, and I loved that. Hopefully the idea will spread. Big hugs to you too.
Is that considered a random act of kindness? I don’t think so as I’m smiling back to you. 
And I’m touched to hear that you think of me every time you look at it.
