This is a journal about my random acts of kindness each day for a year. I suffer from generalized anxiety and depression. This is my way of giving back to the world and feel like I am doing something positive every day. We all deserve a little kindness every day and I hope to inspire others to give : )

Door Woman
Today's idea came from the internet. I'm always looking for more ideas for RAOK and found the perfect one there today. I had to take my daughter downtown for an Orthodontist appointment. Her Orthodontist is in a very busy mall and parking is difficult downtown so usually I drop her off and wait somewhere until she's done. Today I got lucky. Someone was pulling out right across from the mall. My daughter left and I plugged the meter and then walked to the mall entrance. For 15 minutes I stood and opened the door for people entering the mall. Let me tell you, I felt very awkward lol Some people looked at me oddly, some said thank you and many just smiled. It did feel good but I think I was worrying too much about what those people thought. How do you get to a point in your life where other's opinions just don't matter anymore? I guess it comes with confidence in yourself. We're all works in progress : )

I have a sticky note on my desk that reminds me "what you think of me is none of my business". I love that quote but it's a tough one to really live. Exactly! We are all a work in progress and it takes practice. Good for you for practicing today in a big way!
