#626 sunshine

The term "dog days of summer" refers to the hardest part of the season; the sun is hot and the summer is long and dog days marks a period of lethargy.  I wonder what the equivalent is for the "dog days of winter", when the cold and snowy conditions continue and it seems hard to think of being active and thriving, especially in the outdoors.  I think we are in this period now!

One way to get through the winter blues is to actively commemorate Random Acts of Kindness Day today.  The act of doing for others and infusing their day with a pleasant surprise is sure to shine some sunshine onto your world. 

Random Acts of Kindness need not be elaborate or costly, in fact many are simple to do and cost nothing.  For a list of 101 ideas see www.loveistheword.org.  Pick one and commit to doing it today.  Regardless of the weather, it's a sure way you can bring some delight into the otherwise dreary landscape.
