Happy “Be Kind to Humankind Week”! Today we celebrate “Thoughtful Thursday”! Thoughtful Thursday is a day to focus on other people and their needs rather than allowing our own troubles or thoughts to take up the space in our minds. Even if it is simply listening to another and being a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen…that simple act of kindness can mean so much. Never underestimate the simplest acts of kindness. For additional ideas and suggestion for this day, please click the Thoughtful Thursday link below. This day ends “Be Kind to Humankind Weeks” 18th celebration! It does not end our attempts at DAILY acts of kindness 365 days of the year! Thank you for helping to make 2006 a BIG SUCCESS for BK2HK!!
Thoughtful Thursday is the perfect time to be mindful of those around you, at home and at work who may have thoughts, concerns, or needs which you may not be aware of. Try a little harder to get out of yourself and your own busy world and plunge into trying to be more thoughtful as to others feelings! It’s a wonderful thing when you can more thoughtful and considerate towards others. It will help those who may just need an ear, and it will be a rewarding experience for you.

Here are some suggestions to make your Thoughtful Thursday better:
1. Pick up the phone and say hello to a friend who’s in need of a little conversation.
2. Invite a friend/relative over for lunch.
3. Get involved in volunteer work in your community.
4. Hold doors for people behind you.
5. Give up your seat on a bus/train to a person who could use it more; pregnant women, elderly person etc.
6. Allow a person with fewer groceries than yourself to cut in front of you on line.
7. Try to be more conciensious of others feelings.
8. Send a person who is depressed a little note to lift their spirits, or a little gift (trinket) of some sort. Just letting them know that you are thinking of them helps so much.
9. Please do not forget to say “Please, Thank You, Excuse me”, ect. So often we do forget to say these simple but important courtesies!
