Dare #12 - The Freebie DRAKS

"Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your modus operandi and change your world."  - Annie Lennox

Well here we go into the 3rd week of Deliberate Acts of Kindness. Hopefully your awareness of deliberately acting in a kind way has increased and more than that, you are seizing opportunities to be kind...to all sorts of people in all sorts of ways.

Last week's book dares may have been a little challenging...how did you go? I loaned a book or 2. Have a small pile of picture books to donate early this week. And left a book of inspiring photos and quotes on a bench in a public place with a note to 'enjoy'.

This week let's try and do some freebie DRAKS...that is, things that don't cost a cent.

The first one....smile. LOTS and LONG and WIDELY. Smile at those you pass, those you greet, those who serve you, those you serve. Start each day this week my smiling at those in your family, no matter what time they wake you up! Smile at strangers and friends. Costs nothing in terms of your hip pocket, but might cost a bit emotionally. Still, SMILE!

The 2nd one....let others go first. If there is opportunity to let people go ahead of you in the grocery/library/bank line, let them. Let people merge in front of you in the car. Wait at the door for others to pass through before you do. Don't be about getting somewhere first, put yourself 2nd this week.

Number 3....send a free e-card to someone this week. I like to use dayspring.com. There are friendship, encouragement, get well, missing you, birthday, back to school, love and romance, praying for you cards and more to choose from. If you are getting really good at this DRAK thing, then send one a day for the next week....to different people or the same lucky person :)

And finally, a 4th bonus dare....visit this article 10 Free RAKS You Can Do Online. Read it and choose to do 1, 2, 6, 10 of the things Angela suggests.

Hop to it friends! There are people waiting for us to do DRAKs for them, whether they know it or not. And in the process, may a little bit of the love and joy and kindness you are sharing spill over onto you!

Blessings,
Kirsty
