Random Acts of Kindness

A couple years ago, I worked on a writing project where I composed a list of random things people can do to show kindness to others. Upon doing research I discovered the idea wasnt a new one. I wanted to perform some of the acts, as an experiment. It was fun to watch the look on peoples faces and even more exciting knowing I had put a smile there. I was brainstorming an idea for a blog, when one of those acts popped into my head. It was the first one I had done. I decided to go through a drive-through for a coke. I handed the girl a ten dollar bill and told her to put the change towards the bill of the car behind me. I was so excited, I drove off and forgot my coke. lol.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to post a few random acts of kindness, in hopes that all of you will pick at least one and try it out. If you have any ideas I dont list, please leave them in a comment. Then after you perform each one, either come back here and comment about it, or create your own blog, so we can all share in it. Who knows, you may have fun with it.
1. Write a note of appreciation to your mailman
2. Put change in a row of vending machines
3. Leave something for someone at an area where it most might be used, (lighter near smoking area, book in reading area, umbrella near door on rainy day)
4. Open the phone book, pick a name, and send them something (movie tickets, thank you card, you are appreciated card, book, etc.) anonymously.
5. Put a quarter in a parking meter that has expired
6. Write a thank-you note to a person from your past who has made a difference in your life.
7. sometimes stores dont have enough baggers. Offer to bag your own groceries
8. If you live in an area where homeless people are, pack a few lunches and take them to where they congregate.
9. Tuck a couple dollars inside the library book, before you return it
10. Bake goodies and take them to the police station, fire station, emergency room, etc... anyone that spends their life helping others, really deserves all you can do for them.
