RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS....

This has always been one of my most favourite quotes.  In fact,  it is one I try to live my life by and I have it hung in places where I can see and read it each and every day....
It is on my fridge.... in my office. and on my pinboard at work...

“Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”

—Scott Adams
