C.E.S. - R.A.K. Week(s)

"What's Love Got To Do With It?"

Hello,

Did you know that February is not only known for Valentine's Day anymore? It has been claimed by society as "Love Month", and now also includes "Random Acts of Kindness Day". I find it very appropriate, and think it's a great idea to get people back to thinking of others again.

There are many ways that anyone can "spread the love", and random acts of kindness is not the only way. Sure, we tend to do so more, during February and December. But they are not the only months it is needed to be done, and it's not enough. When people think of random acts of kindness, they usually think of it as an open-to-options term. Means that the options of how and when are open to any act at any time - as it should be.

More excuses to comercialize? or Meant as a reminder? You decide. We all know we don't need another excuse for a holiday, just to be comercialized. As a reminder, it shows us that it may not be practiced enough. Life gets busy, and people tend not to think of others. They forget showing gratitude, and often don't get the chance to enjoy life with family and friends.

I'm sure I've been guilty of this myself, on numerous occasions. Due to this, I try to help change this for myself, and any others that want to join along the way. I have others that are similar to this, as they follow along the same theory.

~+=+~=+~

Today I bring you a week long event, to help practice better. This is an extended version of "Random Acts of Kindness Day", and lasts for 7 days. Welcome to...

R.A.K. Week!

WHEN:

Feb.13-19 (annually)

WHERE:

Anywhere you are.

HOW:

Here's a quick list of some ideas... (^^^)

APPRECIATION/ GRATITUDE:

Showing we care & are thankful by:

~ Respecting others & their "spaces"

~ "Thank-you"s (verbal, notes, etc...)

~ Hugs, kisses (were appropriate), etc...

~ Small treats (little/ non-expensive)

~ Dinner on you (eat in, or go out)

~ Etc...

+

HELPING:

Share yourself/ time through:

~ Read to someone that can't.

~ Lift/ carry something heavy.

~ Help with chores/ errands.

~ Share knowledge/ information.

~ Introduce people.

~ Etc...

+

LOVING:

~ Actually listening/ paying attention to what others are saying to you.

~ Being available as a "shoulder/ rock" at any time - when needed especially.

~ Communicating what you mean as clearly as possible, so they can hear & understand you. (Misunderstandings can SUCK!)

~ Dedicating yourself to the friendships you have chosen/ grown.

~ Evolving through being true to yourself and others - honest, respectful, and in "good standing"/ responsibly.

~ Forgiving yourself and others for mistakes made in the past.

~ Giving honest efforts into all growth attempts/ tasks, caring for yourself & others, and all kinds of relationships.

~ Hoping that you will fill in the rest of this alphabetic start... (^^^)

For my complete list here, please feel free to ask me. Thankz

Growth in positive ways, is never bad for us. 

I hope this also helps others, as it helps me.

Take care & Safe travels!
