The city of Elk River is sending out a citywide challenge of showing our love and goodwill to fellow citizens this month! What a better way to show our friendly spirit as well as lending a helping hand this beautiful February.

If you head downtown they are tracking our progress with a kind-o-meter! All you have to do is:

1. help someone.

2. and then let them know you did.

With the ice and snow that we have covering our roadways it's the perfect time to help elderly cross the parking lots and roads.

It's a great time to think outside the box and see how you can bless someone today.

This comes along a VERY funny story for my February 1st, 2010. The boys and I always head to the grocery store on Mondays and today was no exception. We were done with our shopping and my boys are such great helpers that they help put the groceries up on the "belt" to be checked out. We were partway checked out and this little old lady pushed her way to the front of the line and asked if I'd mind if she 'budged in' to check out her one item. I really was too surprised to know what to say so I said, sure, go ahead. So, the cashier stopped my order... I paid... cashier checked out older woman and proceeded to finish my order. What's a girl to do. I hope that I made her day! I guess that was my random kindness today.... though it was rather forced on me.

Check out the stories below to know where and how you can send in your random acts of kindness!

Love Elk River
