Kindness
Around the alphabet in 26 days the A-Z April Challenge
Last year around this time I challenged myself to make it through 1 week without thinking, saying or doing anything unkind. The challenge was to also perform at least 1 random act of kindness per day.
The reason I entered the kindness challenge was because I was so upset with people that preached and peddled kindness but only walked the walk when it was easy to be kind. The last several years it has been making me crazy listening to women of all political views spewing hateful vitriol at each other because they disagree on issues.
I thought these women sounded stupid at first and then I realized they were just mean. I decided I did not want to be like that and I would rather just be quiet if I did not have something intelligent to say.
Sound easy? Not so much. The saying and doing was not so hard but boy oh boy the stinking thinking got me for months. 3 months, to be exact. That is how long it took me to get through one week.
I am so glad I stuck with it because it has become a habit now and I continue to challenge myself. It is getting so much easier.
How about you? How long would it take you?
