Simple acts of Kindness Challenge: #1 Give A Wave
In the not-too-distant past, our little community had one of the best, small town, friendliest and community feelings of any small town in Oklahoma. I want to see that brought back and I want to pose a few simple acts of kindness to my fellow residents. These acts won't by themselves, change the hearts and minds of anyone who feels that the town is too far gone, but they will encourage the others of us, the majority I think, who love this small town and would like to see it improve and that goes for the overall feeling of community and friendliness.
Most of these challenges won't cost anything other than a little effort and maybe a little push to get you out of your comfort zone a little, change some bad habits or to even begin think about your neighbors in a little different light.
To start this off my 1st simple act of kindness that we ALL can do is simply Wave!!!
Yep, that's right just wave at others to say Hi… As you pass someone on the street, in a car or in their yard, simply give a small wave and maybe a quick smile... I already do this a lot of the time, but I can’t tell you how much it really encourages me, maybe even makes my day a little brighter when someone waves first or waves back.
I’m not asking you to wave your hands around or stick you arm out the window or anything, that is unless you want too…lol…. Just lift a couple of fingers off the steering wheel or maybe your hand a little if you’re driving… If you’re a passenger, just stick your hand up where it can be seen or something simple.
If we all will try to do something simple like waving at each other every day, things will slowly be steadily change… and our town will once again return to the wonderful place to live, raise a family and call HOME that I love so dear…
