I always trie to do good deeds. Just today as I was picking up sandwiches at the snadwich shop I did my deed for the day. A boy was picking up his order and his mom didn't give him enough money. So I paid the 1.65 that he was short. He was very thankful and even wanted me to follow him on his bike so he could pay me back...lol I felt really good about it, and no I didn't follow him to get it back. I told him if he helped out someone with something that would be good enough.

As a human it is our job to help each other and lend hand to those who're in need. I do those acts of kindness everytime of the day and I don't mind doing it, because I get a great feeling everytime I help someone. I don't expect anything from them, just a smile coming from their faces is enough for me to continue doing good deeds. At the end of the day, I feel that I fulfilled my purpose.. Helping others!;)

This is a good example of how we can each one of us make our world a better place. I do not plan acts of kindness, but I do them. I do not have a plan that I would do one a day or anything like that. When I wait in the cold with a small child, when I should be off duty, so she is not left alone in the cold looking for her parent. that is kindness. Even very poor people have kindness to give to those around them.

So true, kindness can be free. There's no reason for anyone to say..I can't help.

Oh yes! I love random acts of kindness. My favorite kind are the annonymous kind. Sadly, I am not very creative in coming up with new ones! You may have seen my post on here a week or so ago, I was pleading for some new ideas! My favorite is to cut coupons from the sunday paper for products that I don't use. I then tape them to the product or near the product at the store. Someone gets a great surprise when they go to purchase the product! I like sending 'just because' cards to people....I get a really pretty card that has a nice message...and mail it to someone annonomously. (provided I can find their address!) Doing these types of things make my day! I sit and envision their face when they open it and sit there wondering who thought that much of them!

I'm not sure but I don't think I have seen that post yet. I'll look for it though...lol Yes I do the coupon thing too.. I love it. There are some other people in the area that do that too. I often think of it as an annonomous coupon exchange. I like the card idea, that's nice of you.
