Yesterday a woman ahead of me in line at a store turned to me and held out a coupon.

“Here,” she said. “I have an extra.”

I thanked her, made my purchase and left.

Three seconds out of my day, but the exchange made a difference in the rest of my day. Not the savings, just the action.

Far too often I’ve noticed the day goes by without these acts of minute kindness, either as a witness or a participant.

Pick up a piece of trash, hold the door for someone, smile at a stranger (don’t be creepy), anything that is good.

Take three seconds out of every day to do something for the benefit of someone you don’t know.

Practice random acts of kindness
