Random Act of Kindness

[James MacMillan]

The whole Random Act of Kindness thing is one of my private joys. But for me it is also combined with the anonymity (spelling?) of the act.

I belong to an underground group of men who really have fun with this whole idea. But again, for us it's really heavy on the doing things without the recipient knowing who did it. We don't seek credit, or publicity, and I even thought long and hard about posting our activities here. Our group routinely pools our funds and does some pretty neat things. It's a hoot!

Most of us here are lucky enough to always have a spare $10 or $20 bucks in our sporran. Think of the fun that you can have with that money.

The joy that I recieve in spending that $10 or $20 on a RAK is far more valuable to me than the folded piece of paper tucked away in my sporran.

Places where this kind of activity can be practiced are easy to find: Dry Cleaners; Drive through dinners; Toll booths; virtually any thing with a line.

Individual activities can also include mowing a lawn, shovelling a walk, racking leaves. Group activities for us have included painting a house, rebuilding a fence, painting out grafiti, trimming bushes - the hard part for these bigger activities is doing things when the person or persons are not there, because the anonymity (I need to get spell checker) is of great importance to us and me.

The good feeling that I/we gain, can last for days and even weeks. Even typing this small piece has given me a renewed warm glow.

I've benefitted once or twice, and I try to do them - but I'm not going to tell you about them.
