Random Acts of kindness! Yay!
I usually pay for the order behind me at the drive-through. Somebody did that for me once and it made my day — so I do it all the time now. One time, the people I paid for flew up behind me on the highway, and they all waved and blew me kisses. I think I felt happier about that than they did!
Make a gift drop at your local hospital’s pediatric ward — I know when I worked in one we were always trying to scrounge money up for new toys.
Every year we adopt a family in need through our church, and we play what we call the “Christmas phantom.” Once a week, starting after Thanksgiving and going through the New Year, we make up baskets with goodies, poems and things we think the family might need, and leave it on their door step.
Pay for someone’s groceries in line behind you.
Pay for the person behind you in the toll lane. It’s so easy, and it makes anybody’s day.
You could buy somebody’s lunch or dinner at a restaurant — just somebody sitting near you!
Contact a nursing home near you to find out if one of the residents is without a family. Visit him or her, arrange a flower or gift basket delivery or arrange a special dinner for the holidays.
Help someone put their groceries in the car at the store, and take the cart back when they are done.
We usually buy a couple of toys for Toys for Tots while we are holiday shopping — we let the kids choose what to give, which gets them involved.
Well, here’s what I’m doing: There’s a couple here in my small town — they both have a developmental disability. The husband had a stroke, and the wife’s been caring for him since. They both live on pensions, and I see her all the time walking him downtown or taking him to the grocery store. I’m going to send her an anonymous gift card and just say inside that I noticed how much she was caring for her husband, and I thought she deserved a little TLC, too.
From iVillage ladies. I shall make my own list soon
