Simple Acts of Kindness

Author: Jarir Bookstore

Every day offers a new opportunity to be kind. Whether it's a friend, a neighbor, a coworker, or a stranger, you'll never regret taking the time to show someone you care. This book offers easy ways to add compassion, love, and gratitude to your day – and to the days of those around you, including: • Trimming your neighbor's garden • Making a hot drink for the mail carrier in winter • Taking your dog to visit residents in a care home • Doing laundry for a new mother in your community • Writing a thank you card to a helpful coworker • Leading a neighborhood recycling program • Giving up the window seat to another passenger. And generosity doesn't stop there – when you're kind, good deeds have a ripple effect. You'll find that when you go out of your way to brighten someone else's day, you inspire friends, family, and even strangers to do kind things for others in their lives. When a colleague sees you donating books to a local school, she might be inspired to volunteer to read to others. When a neighbor notices you shoveling snow for your elderly neighbor, the next time he heads to the grocery store, he'll think of stopping by to see if she needs anything he can pick up for her. Whether you have just five minutes to make someone happy, or you're looking for a long-term way to make a big difference, turn these pages and start spreading kindness.
