A Day for Random Acts of Kindness

Wouldn’t it be great if people start doing random acts of kindness for a whole day? Why, the world would be such a wonderful place if only people would do that. Just imagine, your next door neighbor would offer to mow your lawn for you, your aunt would offer to baby-sit for the kids while you and your wife go on a romantic dinner, your little sister would stop pestering you for a while, and your boss would not be such a slave driver for a day and would actually give you a few breaks. Of course, you wouldn’t just take and take and take. You would also give your share of kindness. You could try helping that old woman cross the street, you could give a toy to that little girl who is bawling her eyes out, you could buy some flowers for your wife or you could give your mother a call and ask her how she is and update her about the things that have been happening in your life.

A Celebration of the National Tooth Fairy Day...

The tooth fairy is a myth that can be traced back to the culture of the Americans and the Europeans. This character is said to be filled with magical mystery and generosity. Children all over the world believe that the tooth fairy gives coins and money in exchange for their milk teeth after it has fallen off. Children put their baby teeth in a tooth box and place them underneath their pillows at night and the next day would find money or a gift in exchange for the teeth. Even if a child loses his teeth without putting it underneath his pillow, it is believed that the tooth fairy magically knows and will still leave a gift for him at night.
