#Microblog Monday 576: Random Acts of Kindness

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

It is March 9, which means that it is Random Act of Kindness Day for Thomas (Facebook group link). On this day, Kristin asks people to do a random act of kindness in her son’s name because he is no longer here to put good into the world himself. I love this explanation from a few years ago:

Sandy once said that all these acts of kindness help write Thomas’ story, since he’s not here to write it himself. I’ve always loved that idea because it means that by encouraging participation on March 9 we can still parent our invisible child—and he can still change the world.

It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be good. Take a moment today to do something for someone else. To pay a compliment. To give someone your time or expertise. To go out of your way for another human to make them feel seen in this world. And then tell the universe that you just did that for Thomas.
