DIANE'S CORNER ..
Sometimes it’s the smallest act that makes the biggest impact – something as simple as saying please or thank you can turn a day around and make life seem that much better.
Random Acts of Kindness Day encourages you to get out there and be the light you want to see in the world.
History of Random Acts of Kindness Day
Random Acts of Kindness Day was first created in Denver, Colorado in 1995 by a small nonprofit organization, the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation; nine years later it spread to New Zealand in 2004. Random Acts of Kindness can include just about anything, including something as simple a taking a tray of muffins to work.
The idea behind this holiday is to make the world a better place by spreading a little light around and to make kindness a part of our everyday lives. Lift someone up with your words, compliment them on their appearance… even the simplest acts can help to brighten someone’s day.
Although Random Acts of Kindness Day hasn’t been around all that long, kindness itself certainly has! In fact, various studies have concluded that kindness is an inherent part of human nature, with the ability to feel and care for others developing while we’re still babies.
The importance of altruism has long been a topic of discussion in the realms of philosophy, psychology, sociology, and evolutionary biology. There are various theories for why people gravitate towards benevolent behavior – perhaps it’s because doing good deeds for others increases the likelihood that they’ll return the favor if we ever need help in the future, perhaps kindness is hardwired into our brains to aid social attachment and group cohesion, perhaps it’s simply a product of our ability to feel empathy for others. Whatever kindness’s origins,
Random Acts of Kindness Day is a way to nurture and encourage this precious trait we all share.

JOKE OF THE DAY
- Excited about his new project concept, a movie producer had called together several big name draws to kick some ideas around.
The project, an action docu-drama about famous composers featured Stallone, Van Damme, and Schwartzenegger in leading roles.
The producers really wanted the box office 'oomph' of these three, and they were prepared to allow them to select what famous composers they would portray.
"Well," started Stallone, "I've always admired Mozart. I would love to play him."
"Chopin has always been my favorite," said Van Damme, I'll play him."
Things were going well; the producers were pleased.
"Sounds splendid. And who do you want to be, Arnold?"
"I'll be Bach."

Loud sounds can hijack our attention and interfere with the brain's visual processing, which is why you might turn the music down in a car when looking for an address or parking spot.

• Slipper
• treble
• fluid glue
Start by carefully cutting, with a knife, washers from the roll, about 1 cm high. Cut a piece of cloth 17x10 cm. Turn the cloth upside down and insert a paddle. Spread it with a brush across the surface so that it then hardens the cloth and stays firm at the height. Roll the washer at the tip of the cloth and allow it to dry. Finally, decorate the finish with a string, putting a little fluid glue to the edge.
