At Plow & Hearth we recently observed National Random Acts of Kindness week during the month of February. It encouraged us to put kindness first, foster a culture of kindness in the workplace and share it everywhere we go.
Random Acts of Kindness Day was first created in Denver, Colorado on February 17th in 1995. It was so rewarding a week-long nationwide celebration began in 2018. There is even a World Kindness Day observed on November 13.
The goal of these observances is to improve schools, the workplace, families, and society through kindness – a positive action that leaves someone in a better situation than before. It’s a way to help each other though the power of a smile, a caring word or a listening ear.
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
