Random Act of Kindness and “Be a Kid”
So, this one is maybe a bit of a cheat but whatever, I’m
still counting it. Since the challenge idea just occurred to me on this day, I feel
like it should be ok. I’ve been matched with a Little Sister through Big
Brothers/Big Sisters for three years now. She’s hilarious. I think I get more
out of it than her but I hope she gets something out of it as well. We don’t
usually do stuff that costs a lot of money but as a celebration for our 3 year
anniversary, I bought tickets for us to see Broadway’s The Lion King while it
was here in Houston. It was AMAZING!! We both really enjoyed it.
So, was the act completely random, not really. I’ve known
her for three years. But, it was pretty random that we were matched and it’s
probably pretty random that we’ve stayed matched for so long. And, I like to
think that the positive impact I’m having on her will generate random acts of
kindness in the future. But, I think this activity also falls under the “Be a
Kid” category. It’s a musical based on a Disney movie. How is that not
childlike? Plus, I was seriously leaning forward in my seat throughout most of
it because I was so enthralled.
Like I said, it’s a bit of a cheat but I’m counting it
because it was the first day and the challenge just started.
