"If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction."
It's November 1st! That means holiday season is about to begin. I think sometimes we tend to forget what the holidays are really for so I have decided to random acts of kindness everyday, starting December 1st, leading up to Christmas. I'm writing this blog a month before hand so maybe some of my Facebook friends will see it & want to join in! Here is a list of things I plan on doing (in no particular order):
- make a care package for someone sick. It's runny nose season & no one wants to take care of themselves!
- bake cookies and give them to friends/family/neighbors
-tape bag of popcorn to redbox machine
- buy someone else's coffee in line at Starbucks
- volunteer at the soup kitchen
-cook soup & grilled cheese for the people staying at the Ronald Mcdonald house
-bring/make someone breakfast
- send a package to a soldier in Afghanistan
- donate clothes to a shelter
-donate dog/cat food to a local animal shelter
-bring flowers to the nursing home to hand out
-treat someone on a tight budget to lunch (Mcdonald's counts!)
- tape candy canes to random places
- clean out/wash/vacuum a family member/friends car without them knowing
-write someone an anonymous letter to brighten their day
-run an errand for someone who has a busy schedule
- be a FRIENDLY driver. don't honk at people, let others out ahead of you, etc
-leave a nice tip while out to eat at a resteraunt
-home make doggie treats. hey! they need a little kindness too
- convince someone to be an organ donor
- write 5 thank you notes for people that have touched your heart
-return grocery carts back in store for shoppers
-offer to help an elderly person load their groceries into their car
-drop off a dozen donuts & "thank you" notes to the police station
-write a "thank you" note to teachers to give on finals day
If anyone else has any other ideas, I would love to hear them! Message me if you would live to do any of these R.A.K's with me. Everything is a lot more fun with a group of people! (:
