Heyo everyone, this weeks blog is kinda messy and short but it’s about AoK.
Last Thursday, during the height of Tim Hortons smile cookie sales, I ended up buying a total of 25 (I didn’t eat them all myself, don’t worry). It was hard not to buy so many, knowing the money went to a good cause. Anyways, I bought five before school even started, and handed them out to the first five kids I saw at school. Whilst 4/5 cookies I handed out started off someone’s day good, the last one took someone’s day, which was off to a crappy start, and turned it around, and they ended up riding that good mood throughout the day. All from one smiling cookie. I thought, wow, this is awesome. So awesome I went with friends after school to buy twenty more. Smiles went around that day, quite literally.
Looking back on it, it’s interesting to see what one itty bitty one dollar cookie can do. Someone could have had a really bad day all because it got off to a bad start, but instead, they were able to enjoy it. I’ve always understood the value of the AoK, but I don’t think you can truly understand the significance in it until you directly see the impact it has on someone. Doing the AoK, knowing it makes the world a better place is one thing, but understanding that each one has the potential to make a specific individuals life that much better. I see a lot more value behind the acts of kindness then I did previously, which I didn’t realize was possible I guess it was. Overall, realizing that I was able to improve someone’s day with one small deed was enough to make my day better, and for me, that’s a win win.
