Be kind - Kindness rocks

On an early morning walk along the beach recently I came across this cool painted rock, that I had to get a shot of, to share with you all, it leaves a simple message, that sadly more in the world need to heed these days, it seems to me there is so much aggression and anger in the world these days and far to little kindness, and its somethign we all need to do try to do one random act of kindness a day and hope it spreads.

Now I am guessing that first rock is one of what are called kindness rocks, which are quite popular at a couple of beaches here, and here is anothe rlittle pile of them further down the beach.
Now if I had to choose one of this to take I would have taken the one which says, "today is a gift, unwrap it"

This is a sign on the beach explaining the idea of Kindness rocks here is what it says
The Milford Kindness rocks project
these rocks are designed for you, yes, you!, If you see one the "speaks" to you please bring it home.
If you're inspired to design some rocks of your own, you are welcome to leave them here for others to find. "Find one, design one, please pass it on kindness is contagious!'

Join us and find your kind!
Not sure about you but I think Kindness rocks are a great idea and I would love to see more of them spread all over the world

I really love this post and the rocks. I agree, the one I liked best was "today is a gift, unwrap it". This is such a cool idea, I might make some with my daughter.
I hope you are feeling better and your shoulder comes right quickly. Take care.

@steven-patrick I am not very artistic at all, so its unlikely I will ever make or take one to be honest, but I did collect some rocks one day and gave to a friend who is very artistic and wasnt well and couldn't make it to the beach, she made some real nice ones, so in a way I did help make some

I should show this rock to a certain Steemit user who has no idea what kindness is, nor does he know the meaning of the world tolerance.
Anyway, I love those colorful rocks.
