World Kindness Day World Kindness Day began after the founding of the World Kindness Movement. It was their goal and hope to start a day that would be able to raise the awareness of the importance of kindness to as many people across the world as possible. Uniting people across the globe. The sole purpose of this day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. It’s a day to learn, teach, and s...hare your kindness with others. Some of the activities you could do include: Giving compliments- Smile at strangers passing by, hold open a door, give up your seat on public transport, or compliment someone sincerely on something they have done or have changed such as wearing a new top or new hair cut. Even these small gestures are a nice way of showing kindness to others. Give extra long hugs- Sometimes people just need that extra little bit of care, so if you give out any hugs today make them extra long and meaningful. Connections and kindness go hand-in-hand. You may find that some people wonder what’s got into you, but they will certainly appreciate it. Write a love letter or poem- This is a great one for your significant other half. We can often take them for granted so show your kindness in a letter or poem.

Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services would like to extend our gratitude to those who served our country, and to the families they leave behind; may peace and love surround you and your loved ones today. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,... They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. -For the Fallen
