There isn’t any better time for you to help a pensioner to mix the street than you are on Random Acts Of Kindness Day. Obviously, crossing there's help only one way that you could show kindness and help individuals who are around you – get creative to find small methods to really make a difference and also to make somebody smile!

1. Write a letter to someone.

I received a letter the other day from someone I'd not heard from in a while. The letter started out with, "I don't want anything, nor do I need anything. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and how very much having you in my life means to me." I smile every time I think about it. Of course I returned the kindness to her and then sent a few of my own messages out to others that I've not heard from in a while. It was contagious!

2. Put someone else first.

This could be as simple as letting someone go ahead of you in line, holding a door open or allowing them to choose the first slice of pizza.

3. Compliment a family member, friend or neighbor.

Think about the good in people and text, email or call them with words of praise. Let your friends know why they are important in your life or mail a "thank you" card to someone far away to let them know.

4. Clean up.

It does not have to be trash on the roadside. Do the dishes, clean your room, or even better help a friend clean their room.

5. Cheer someone up.

You probably have a Facebook or other means of communication. Check and see who might be having a bad day and do something to cheer them up.

6. Send a message.

Search for some positive phrases online and post them on your fridge or somewhere else where random people will see them and be inspired.

7. Forgive somebody.

We've all made mistakes in our lives. Think about forgiving someone or apologizing. This will totally make their day! "To err is human; to forgive is divine." -- Alexander Pope

8. Kindness to pets and animals counts too.

Know a dog or kitty that could use a grooming or some special one on one attention. Maybe take a neighbor's dog for a walk or donate some old blankets and towels to a neighborhood animal shelter.

9. Devote some time to a young child.

Read a young child a book, play a game or sing some songs together. Also, you might have a sibling that needs help with homework or simply could use someone to talk and have a conversation with. Be a mentor.

10. Come to someone's emotional rescue.

We all feel terrible when we accidentally do something like spill, drop or break something. Or even get a bad grade on a test or have a tiff with a friend. Go to their rescue and make them feel better, reassure them that it's okay and help them get over their bad day. If necessary, assist them with cleaning up the mess.

11. Share something.

Let your friend ride your bike while you walk. Offer them something that is important to you. Give away something that is important to you because you know in your heart it will simply make this persons day brighter.

12. Hug your family and tell them how much you love them!

Sounds like a great assignment! You've already done some really awesome acts of kindness!! Keep up the wonderful work and have fun capturing these great moments.

Random Acts of Kindness stories?

Well I have two stories.

The one didn't actually happen to me, but I saw a picture of it on the internet. Someone had put a one dolar bill in a small plastic enveloppe and had stuck it on a vending machine, with a note saying ''This is a random act of kindness. Your snack is on me. Have a nice day!''. I thought it was absolutely fantastic, and it would have definately made my day (I don't mean because of the free snack, just the thought) ;)

The other was a very simple graffiti on the street that I saw one morning leaving home. I had woken up early and was feeling a little down and tired, and someone had written ''you look beautiful today'' in purple letters. Needless to say, it made my day. Something so simple, so random, written on the sidewalk, yet it was amazing :)

Have you ever done any random acts of kindness?

I try to one act of kindness daily...everynight when I fall on bed, I thank God for whatever .he gave me.....then I think if I really did something good for anyone.

most of the time I had done.

then I pray for welfare of my family, friends ,relatives and humanity..I pray for peace in the world.for Iraqi people dying every day, and no one cares . how many families have funeral everyday.

I pray for our young and old soldiers , who don't want war but they must fight.and lose their lives daily.

I think praying is also an act of kindness.

I help with a bit of money for those who have self respect so much that they are embaressed to ask

I call or write to my teachers who are still alive and far.to thank them for the wealth of education which they gave me.

in cold weather , knowing the law I still give ride to some walking on foot.

once in bitter cold I saw an 18 year old going to Burger king I asked why he did not take the bus?...he said he did not have money...only a coupon of 50 cents for burger,then I took him to B.King gave him $5.00 to go back by bus.....during his ride , he asked me "do you often give ride to strangers?".I said "yes I do."......he said "don't do that.it is dangerous"

I should not say all this, but I thought maybe it will inspire someone....Good question.
