I did this the other day, i won soem tickets to the AFL ( a type of football down under) and we have new 2 new male neighbours in our street so i got up early and and put the tickets on their fron door to find and never told them it was me, i just wanted them to have fun as they are both school teachers ans work so hard, thanks Cherie, i will try ot do soemthing every single day form now on.
yup its a pay it forward kind of thing, it makes most feel really good to its rewarding in and of itself
Thanx so much for the "random acts of kindness' .That just really helped me to always thinking about myself and get out there and whaatever shape Im in I can help another human being and make there life better.
Do you know guys I have always found this about Americans,notice I am still calling us Americans, I am told that we are not American anymore we are the' People Of the United States of America , 'thats the new wording in the text books, anyway sorry... I digress,it was the first thing I loved and still do, folks opened doors ,smiled, went out of their way to be kind,allowed us to stroll across a car park instead of running as in England and France, I have always been allowed to go infront of someone with more shopping than I when inline in the store, many times I have come out smiling from the terrific way,AMERICANS, have treated me. You know it rubs off I know I am a more tolerant kinder person for having lived here, personally I hope this doesnt change as folks become more anxious about the changes we are experiencing .
hey red love the smile thing,,i did that once in the mall just as an experiment ( yes i can be weird) I smiled at most everyone and aslo said Hi how are you to complete strangers,,,it was one of 2 reactions either they walked away quickly or they glowed and beamed and smiled back said hello and some even started a conversation.
I had a whole assignment on this in psych class imagine the world if everyone did one or two simple random kind things per day, wow what a difference it could make,,most people are in a hurry angry all the time, if the flow could change and goodness could be paid forward, the sky would be the limit
Give an unused coupon to the person behind you in line at the cashier.
Cherie and readheadaussie,
Thank you both so very much for sharing wonderful acts of kindness! You've provided me with new ideas.

Blessings and Pleasant thoughts.

I do tend to do a lot of these things!
I often also go up to screaming toddlers in supermarkets and say, "I bet I can scream louder than you!" Invariably said child shuts the bleep up and mother turns to me in total gratitude. I will then say, "I used to have 3 of those!" Hee hee.
I also used to write notes in my library books I was returning. On paper,not the books! Things like This book is really good, keep reading! or Isn't it great to not be in hospital and sick? or Thank you for choosing me, I was getting lonely. Hee hee.
Lately I have decided to smile at 5 people when I am out and say, 'Isn't it a gorgeous day?!' Even if it is raining! I am always amazed at how people complain when it rains. To me it makes the earth take a big drink in and produce flowers and things we can eat. Rain can't be bad! (Ok in a flood it is I am sure!)
Once a month I have a chuck to the op shop day. (goodwill store) Things I have not used for 2 years go in a box and out the door!
I was making Trauma Teddies a while ago but our local Red Cross was told they could not afford the postage of them to the main part of my state. I think I will make some more, box them up and send them myself.
Great ideas Cherie!
