This is "World Kindness Day". It was introduced by an organization called the World Kindness Movement in 1998. It's a simple initiative encouraging all to spread kindness and make our world a better place.
I'm reflecting on how lucky I am today. I'm surrounded by kind people - family and friends and I just happen to have a job where being kind is a prerequisite! And, every now and then, kindness is rewarded.
Just last week one of our loyal listeners thought so much of our participation in the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Radiothon that she baked us muffins and cookies and had them delivered to the radio station.
There was another time when I shared a funny story about HP Sauce on the radio and the next day, a friend brought me a bottle of it and we shared a good laugh.
I'm not looking for gifts or accolades today. I'm just hoping YOU can find the time, take the time, to be kind to someone. You could share a smile, offer a tasteful compliment or pay it forward at the drive-thru.
We have the ability to make the world a better place on this, World Kindness Day.
