Southfork News “FOR THE RESIDENTS, BY THE RESIDENTS” Happy Valentines Day
February 2015
Random Acts of Kindness Week Did you know there is a foundation dedicated to random acts of kindness from Feb 15-21? A Valentine Forever
A Valentine is nothing like a chocolate or a rose. For in a week these shall be gone, but Valentines remain. If love were always sweet to tongue or fragrant to the nose, Each day would be like Valentine’s and we would go insane. A Valentine just hangs around, waiting to be kissed, Long after special days have passed And everyday’s are here. So one is wise to choose one well, And chocolate’s to resist. For in the midst of mania, It’s nice to have one near. A VERY SPECIAL, HAPPY VALENTINES’S TO ALL!
There are simple things like sharing a smile with everyone you meet, drop off treats to fire and police departments, make a new friend, teach a grandchild how to cook a special dish, or hold the door open for the person behind you. These seem like easy acts to perform, yet how often do we get so involved in our own thoughts and world that we miss the chance to do some small act of kindness for others. Reported in AARP there is an Ohio man traveling around the country in a bus laden with kindness ideas to all college campuses. He says, “Reaching 1 million kindnesses over a lifetime requires 50 acts of kindness a day for 55 years….” Just think what one act a week could do or better yet one act of kindness a day. You never know when you might be the recipient.. Think of that when someone holds a door open for you!!
