Random Acts of Kindness Continue…Now More Than Ever!

Today was a sad day, just like it has been since the tragedy occurred last Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School. You can just “feel” the heaviness from everyone’s heart. Security in our school and district have been heightened- along with our staff’s stress levels. The children came into school today with a lot of information and questions. And yet, through all of this, the one thing that we can continue to do is to teach our students that KINDNESS matters and KINDNESS will overcome all evil. “Why are we here? What gives our lives purpose?” were the words of our President at the Memorial last night. He even talked about Acts of Kindness and that we can’t go wrong when kindness is in our motives. With that in mind, Nicole and I are now more than ever committed to our Random Acts of Kindness! If you have read our blog for some time now, you will know that I am a huge animal lover!Random Acts of Kindness Continue…Now More Than Ever!When I saw this posted at my local animal shelter, I immediately knew what my random act of kindness would be! Ask and you shall receive!!! I went to Target and stocked up with as much cat litter that my cart could hold! (I must say, I did get a few looks with all that cat litter in my cart!!!) My golden retriever, Nugget, and I packed up the car and drove over to the human society this weekend to drop off the goodies.Random Acts of Kindness Continue…Now More Than Ever!This little guy, TUCK!!!, greeted us at the front door of the Humane Society. He has been there since August, we no luck of finding a forever home. (Not yet!!!) Tuck was more than willing to help us bring the bones to the supply shelves!!

  1. This might be totally random and if so sorry. I was reading your blog and I saw the Naperville Area Humane Society. Is it Naperville, IL? I am from there and live in the area. If so such a small world. Merry Christmas!

  2. Our little shelter has found a LOT if success in starting a facebook page and posting pics of cuties up for adoption… they also post all of their fundraiser info and stuff like that… we love it and share on our FB pages when they post pics of pups that haven't found a home yet…. just came to mind to share with you their FB success :)
