(Look for this week’s #ThursdayThoughtfulness questions after the jump.)
This Week’s Questions: What was the most recent act of kindness that you performed for someone? How did it make you feel afterward? How did the other person respond? Also, what was the most recent act of kindness you received from someone else? How did it impact you in small or great ways?
Follow #ThursdayThoughtfulness at the blog as well as on Facebook and Twitter at 11:00 AM Eastern. Feel free to spread the thoughtfulness by reblogging this post, writing your own post on this topic, or sharing the quote image on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

I’d like to think I do something kind every day. Yesterday I drove someone, whose car had broken down, home. And people were kind to me for my birthday yesterday – I got bday wishes, flowers and presents from people I’d never expect.

I think we all hope we do that for someone every day. 🙂 And both of your examples are good ones. Happy belated birthday, by the way!

Recent kindness given: I mailed something for a coworker without being asked.
Recent kindness received: A friend is booking hotel rooms for a conference for me, so I have more time to gather the money for my dues for the room. ^ ^

Good examples of both, Tori! Btw I noticed your recent Tweet about RealmMakers. I know you’d told me before that you weren’t sure if you’d go this year, so I’m glad to see it’s going to work out. 🙂

I recently used my connections to get a very deserving guy an awesome job. It felt great. 🙂

A beautiful sentiment. I love the idea of ripple effect (reminds me of the movie Pay it Forward). Every day there are such simple things that people do that I see as kind and it’s not small, it means something. It really doesn’t take much to show people you care ❤

It really doesn’t take much, I agree. Sometimes a “thank you” or a smile can go a much longer way than you think it might. 🙂

I thought about it and… I don’t remember. Mostly, because I don’t register my own “acts of kindness”: when I have one, it’s not because I tried to do it for some “gain” (even the “feeling good about myself” gain) – they just happen.
Last one to me? A friend, asked for a quick read of my text (just to check the consistency and readibility), did a full edit of it too.

Same here. I don’t perform an act of kindness with the intention of getting something in return. In fact, I never do. I always do it simply because I want to, or because it’s the right thing to do. So I know what you mean there.
