What a great week. I wish I would have known this three days ago. (Not that I should need a designated week to do random acts of kindness)
I am going to try to commit a random act of kindness today and for the next 3 days.
I urge you all to try as well.....
If you are having trouble thinking of ideas- here are a few suggestions:
- Smile at everyone you walk past
- Send an anonymous bouquet of flowers to a resident at a nursing home
- Give another driver the close parking spot
- Donate blood
- Shovel your neighbor's driveway
- Write letters to your parents or children and let them know how special they are
- Put change in someone's expired parking meter
- Give hugs to your friends and loved ones
- Give everyone a compliment
- In a drive thru, pay for the car's order behind you
- Adopt an animal from the Humane Society
- Offer your time as a Big Brother or Sister
- Make a special treat for co-workers or Bible Study
- Call a loved one just to say "I'm thinking about you"
- Make amends with someone you have been holding a grudge against
"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted." ~ Aesop

I love the idea of sending flowers to a person at a nursing home. When gpa was there for a couple months before he died, I think I shriveled up inside every time I walked in that place. It made me so uneasy and sad and just depressed. I hated seeing people like that....die like that. I still do. It was a huge wake-up call. I just love this idea. I wish I had enough money to do it for every person in a home. I think I will do this, Corie. :)
As far as donating blood, can I be exempt from that one ? I cant donate...I've tried. I pass out. I just can't do it.
I also wanted to say that I'm happy to say I've done the parking meter one every time I have used one recently. It's such a nice thing to do, and an easy thing to do. And I also paid for a couple's coffee standing in line behind me, recently. It not only makes these people's days, but your own. It really is a nice feeling :) Thanks for sharing all these, Cor. xo
