Here, in this category, each post will be a suggested random act of kindness or gratitude.  I have been hearing a lot about random acts of kindness, and paying forward gratitude lately, and feel compelled to share some ideas with all of you.  

Also, if you notice on the menu side of the blog, I have been awarded the Kind Blogger badge!  I was pretty excited to get it and want to make sure that this blog continues to encourage us all to be a little kinder each day.

So, since I’m already on the subject of blogging, the first Random Act will be to find new blogs, read what the writer has to share, and post a positive comment.  Here are some more details and thoughts:

Random Act of Kindness and Gratitude #1 – Post encouraging and positive comments on new blogs

I particularly think this is a nice idea because I know how grateful I am whenever I get a comment on my blogs, especially from someone that I don’t know at all.  It is such a wonderful feeling to know that you are reaching others with your words.  

Find at least two blogs  written by people that you don’t know personally, and that you have never commented on before and leave some encouraging words.  Hopefully those people will then be inspired to seek out some new blogs, too, and leave some comments of their own!  (I try to find two new blogs to leave comments on each time that I sit down to work on my own blog…and even though that may not be as often as I would like it to be, I have reached out to several new blogs in a short amount of time.  Here on WordPress, the Tag Surfer has helped me find so many new interesting blogs.)
