a COOL week

February 11th through February 17th marks Random Acts of Kindness week. What a great week to get out, meet people, get out of the winter funk, and most importantly brighten someone's day with the smallest or biggest random act of kindness. If you need ideas visit the Random Act of Kindness Foundation's website www.randomactsofkindness.org. The Foundation "is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded upon the powerful belief in kindness and dedicated to providing resources and tools that encourage acts of kindness." On their site you can take a few minutes to read random acts of kindness stories or share your own. You can also read below and see some of the ideas the Foundation has for each day of the week.
