There is still plenty of time to celebrate accordingly and do some random acts of kindness.

RandomActsofKindness.org is even hosting a coloring contest! Although, entries have to be in by today (February 17)! Five random winners will be selected to receive a Random Acts of Kindness Day poster, lapel pin, a 2022 Kindness Calendar, along with a Make Kindness the Norm sweatshirt, water bottle, and baseball hat. The whole prize package is valued at over $100!

Some of the suggestions for random acts of kindness include:

• Give a gift card
• Be a kid again- remember something that made you truly happy or proud as a kid and do that thing again
• Write an actual letter with a stamp and everything!
• Reach out to someone you haven't touched base with in a while. This time it can be via text, e-mail, or put pen to paper.
• Donate to a favorite charity
• Give a compliment to a stranger
• Give someone a thumbs up
• Give a compliment to someone you know
• Plant a tree
• Let someone in front of you in line
• Put money in parking meters
• Leave coupons in the grocery store
• Leave a positive comment on social media
• Put carts left in the parking lot in the cart corral
• Smile!

Even though I'm a couple of days behind, there is still time to make good on my random acts of kindness! And obviously, you can keep the acts of kindness going year-round!
