Day 1: Give a high five to a stranger

My task to start off the 30-day kindness challenge was the one I was looking forward to the most, give a high five to a complete stranger.

Oddly enough, as much I was looking forward to it, I was nervous! I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to just walk up to a complete stranger and high five them.

I figured it was best to just announce my intention right off the bat.

I walked to the corner just outside my work and looked for the perfect person, who eventually found me!

I was standing there on a very busy street corner holding my sign and it surprised me how many people just passed me, not taking me up on my offer for a "free high five." Then this guy came walking towards me with a huge grin and the deed was done!

He asked the obvious question "why are you standing on the street giving away high fives?" and I explained it was part of my challenge to spread kindness this month. He told me I was "awesome" and we parted with "you have an awesome day!" (So much awesome talk.)

All-in-all, I would say it was a great way to kick-off the Bootcamp!
