Ohio’s Hospice Encourages You to Scatter Kindness™ On Random Acts of Kindness Day
At Ohio’s Hospice, we recognize that kindness is far from random – it’s embedded in our mission and is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether large or small, acts of kindness can make a significant impact on those around you. Kindness can help change our turbulent times into individual moments of compassion that outweigh uncertainty and doubt. Kindness is the beginning of all that is good and worthwhile in our lifetime.
Each day of the year we have the privilege of providing superior care and superior services to the patients and families we serve, many of whom are in their most vulnerable moments. The hope is to instill kindness and generosity in our everyday lives, through actions, kind words or simple gestures.
On Random Acts of Kindness Day, we invite you to join us and Scatter KindnessTM. Random Acts of Kindness Day encourages individuals to make kindness the norm. It envisions a world where there is no limit on the amount of goodness put out into the world. Today, we encourage you to offer acts of kindness in any way you can.
- Compliment a stranger. Telling the person in front of you in line that you like their sweater can be a confidence boost for them and make them smile.
- Write a positive comment on a website or blog. Read a great article or blog? Send love to the author by leaving a positive note in the comment section.
- Gift an inspirational book. Books can change the way we see the world. Give someone you care about the inspiration to see things differently.
- Find out something new about a co-worker or a neighbor. When you see someone every day, it can be easy to get caught in the motions of familiar conversation. Make an effort to connect and learn something new.
- Wheel out your neighbor’s trash bin. Help your neighbors when they forget trash day or are having a busy week.
- Be kind to yourself. Pick a comfy spot and read a good book, make a cup of hot tea and watch your favorite movie, or take a few minutes to stretch and meditate.
As you Scatter KindnessTM, we would love to see your kindness in action. If you would like to share your acts of kindness or kindness from others, please use the hashtags #ScatterKindness.
