New Word Sudoku (Kindness Sudoku) Puzzles for Sunday, 2/16/2020

Make kindness the norm."

Today is the first quote about kindness, because today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, or as the folks at www.randomactsofkindness.org put it, RAK Day. Today kicks off a week-long kindness celebration—RAK Week, obviously! So all this week, I'll provide you extra Word Sudoku puzzles spelling out quotes about kindness.

Kindness seems to be losing to bully behavior in our (U.S.) national politics and Internet discourse, which unfortunately sets the bar of civility pretty darn low. I believe we can disagree without being disagreeable. So please consider doing a good deed today, this next week, all year long, and for that matter, the rest of your life! Instill in others the concept that we really can get along together, our different beliefs notwithstanding.

I like the call to action the folks at randomactsofkindness have created: Become a RAKtivist, or random acts of kindness activist. As the website explains, RAKtivists are the heroes of the organization, living and breathing kindness, sharing knowledge and leading by example. In short, they're goodwill—er, kindness—ambassadors.

Many of the quotes I'll give you to uncover in Word Sudoku puzzles throughout this year were made by (anonymous) RAKtivists, quoted with the permission of www.randomactsofkindness.org. (Thanks, RAKleaders!)
