Dec. 31, 2013 Final Thoughts#RAK

 One year ago I made a promise to perform an act of kindness per day and share it with the world in a blog. Tonight, 2013 draws to a close  and so will end this journal. It has been an enlightening, gratifying experience which has shown me that there are always opportunities to reach out to someone with a small thoughtful gesture. Family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, students, strangers, animals, humanitarian groups, the list goes on and on - I have tried to make a difference in some way to show that kindness is contagious, and each one of us has the potential for bringing joy to a fellow human being or a furry friend. What I have accomplished is nothing extraordinary; everyone can show compassion and benevolence. One must remember that all of us have the power to make someone happy and the responsibility to look for these moments. So, today as I close this final post, my act of kindness is the following quotes that you may  reflect and share. I will continue to perform good deeds every day and encourage you to do the same. We are all on this planet together; let's watch one kind action lead to another. Have a blessed 2014, my friends.

"To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness."
Confucius

" A tree is known by its fruits; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship and he who plants kindness gathers love.
St. Basil

" No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
Aesop
