16.I celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday!And one way I celebrated it was by doing 40 acts of random kindness.While I (71)certainly(certain) couldn't take credit for this idea as it had been done many times,I felt that it was a great way (72)to spread(spread) kindness and love to others.I (73)was inspired(inspire) by my friend Robyn recently when reading her blog about (74)how she celebrated her 30th with 30 acts of kindness.
Yesterday,I spread love by visiting a very friendly stranger in the Oshawa Hospital.Believe it or not,when my father was in hospital during his cancer (75)treatment,I noticed that many patients were alone (76)with no visitors; they would spend the day (77)watching(watch) the clock slowly tick by.It really hit my heart to see this.It was the most (78)pitiful(pity) sight I had ever seen.Therefore,I took some beautiful flowers and left (79)them for someone who could really enjoy them to keep his/her spirits high while recovering.
If you know of someone who may be alone or even spending time in a hospital,make the time to reach out to show that you care about them.It only takes a few minutes and it brings so much(80)warmth(warm) and happiness to their hearts.
