This is Valentine's week. Will you give away random acts of kindness?

I have always enjoyed doing random acts of kindness, especially some where the person never knows who did it. Valentine's Day is this week, so what better week to love your fellow man with random acts of kindness. Here are some examples: put money in an expired meter, let someone go in front of you at the grocery store, let people out into traffic, compliment a frazzled store clerk, smile and say hello to strangers you pass, mow your neighbor's yard or shovel their snow - depending on where your are! Will you do some acts of kindness, and if so what will you do?

Well,i will be sincere! If i would do an anonymous act of kindness i would only do it for someone i know (at least)! On the other hand, if i would make such an act for a total stranger...it wouldn't really matter if it's Valentine's or Christmas or any other celebration, i would just do than any day of the year. Of course Valentine's is a perfect occasion for me and my girl to do something special but it involves no one else. This probably makes me look like a total jerk, but as far as i'm concerned, life leaves no room for random acts of kindness, you have to live for yourself and your loved ones!

it doesnt make you a jerk it just shows how differnt some people are in the way they think. I love my family but I beleive if we help total strangers example:a lady in a wheel chair at Walmart was struggling to load the stuff on the register belt and I asked if I could be of assistance and loaded her groceryers up on the belt and after they were bagged put them in her cart. It took all of 10 minutes out of my life. I figure she will at least know someone was paying attention and cared.

This week I helped a dear friend move her whole house full of furniture to another place because she had little to no money and could not afford to pay movers. I plan on cooking the workers at my husbands job a big thing of gumbo or chili this week as well since they will be outside in the rain.
