Kindness Blitz

Today my friend Andrea Griffith Cash started what she is calling a Kindness Blitz to do on January 20. This is what she posted:
On January 20th, I am going on what I am calling a Kindness Blitz. What does that mean? I have a whole list of ideas. I’m going to drop off quarters at the Laundromat, offer to pump someone’s gas, place a book or two in a Little Free Library, leave a nice note on a car in a parking lot, write a letter thanking our public servants, offer to bus someone’s table. 
Andrea used to be my editor and now she is the Director of Inspiration at Inspire MEdia Network. She is always full of positivity and hope and I think this is a brilliant thing to pass on. Since January 20 is going to be a hard day for some people, me included, I want to overcome any feelings of dread with kindness. It is going to take all of us, being our best selves to live in a country that we are proud of and happy to be in.  
This is our country too, even if we don’t agree with the way some people chose to govern it. So please join Andrea and now me and the many others she is gathering to do small acts of kindness on January 20. Hopefully I will like the way it makes me feel and will continue to be kinder in more random ways all through the year.  
You don’t have to sign up or even tell anyone, but if you want to share any stories with me I would love to hear them. I think we can flood the world with love on January 20. And in my kindest possible way to all of you who will be celebrating something else on January 20 I say, I hope you have a wonderful time too. Kindness is for everyone, even those I don’t agree with about everything.  
Andrea, thanks for starting a sweet idea!
