Bloggers Unite in Acts of Kindness

Today is Blogger's Unite in Acts of Kindness day and all bloggers are encouraged to post about acts of kindness that they did or witnessed no matter how small or simple the deed is. This certainly makes one think, what act of kindness have I accomplished today?

It's 7 pm now and i must admit I haven't done much but to work in front of the PC meeting my deadlines. Today, staying at home, I must admit my two acts of kindness have been very small and simple. I can only think of two. I hope tomorrow would be much better.

I called my mother to tell her iloveyou.
I sent a message to my best, best friend who lives in Canada to remind her that despite our distance, i hold her close and dear in my heart.

I have been done an act of kindness by a friend. She has lent me her son's nebulizer to help me breathe better.
I have also received acts of kindness by my special loved one. He helps me take my meds, bring me water, cheer me up and just makes me feel better. These are just few to be mentioned. I have received so many acts of kindness from the wonderful people in my life and I do feel blessed to have them.

This isn't the only day to spread kindness and love. Everyday is. But it surely feels good to be reminded=) Be part of the love. Share your own story. Make a difference.
