Paying Kindness Backwards

If you haven't heard by now, this week is Random Acts of Kindness Week according to The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. With kindness being the main focus of this blog, I couldn't let the week slip by without a post about it.
A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person for no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier. Yes, planned randomness is an oxymoron, but the intention of committing a kind act is the point here and it may be spontaneous or planned. Semantics-jeez you guys c'mon.
This news story is at least a year old but it is a perfect example of RAOK and it still makes me smile. One customer's impatience provoked another customer to react in KINDNESS and the chain reaction began.
My day tomorrow will be spent partially in a doctor's clinic and I intend to make someone smile!
Happy RAOK week!
