World Kindness Day


November 13 is World Kindness Day, a day celebrated in many countries. It is a day to put away differences and reach out to others with care and concern. It highlights good deeds and recognizes the common threads that bind us all.


The movement began 1998 and has spread, with more and more countries becoming interested. Events include The Big Hug, handing out kindness cards, concerts, giving away yellow roses, doing community projects to help others, and just individuals and groups reaching out in love to help someone. The possibilities are endless. According to one news source, the day encourages individuals to overlook differences and see similarities and needs.


So, let's all look for ways to show kindness and observe World Kindness Day. There will be endless opportunities all around us. But we shouldn't do this for just one day. Let's commit to doing them each and every day of the year and see how much better we can make our world.
