I began my 143 Random Acts of Kindness this week and feel quite satisfied with my progress. I have found out that when you begin the day thinking, “How can I help someone?” you automatically set yourself up for a more positive day. It has helped remind me how incredibly blessed I am… My pantry is full, I have people willing to fight for my freedom, and I am healthy.
#1 – Gave food to food bank
#2 – Sent 2 packages to soldiers through Operation Shoebox (the boys chose all of the contents to include from a supply list)
#3 – Held door open for man with many packages
#4 – Gave diapers to repairman
#5 – Donated blood
#6 – Gave loose change to girl raising money for track meet
#7 – Gave the janitor at rec pool a large box of books we no longer needed

I love what you’re doing! I’ve been going through our stuff the past few days to see what I can get rid of, because we won’t have as much storage space in Brazil. I have at least two car loads of stuff to donate today. And I’ll do it with Baby Boy in mind.
Those are great acts of kindness. I need to think of things I’ve been doing to pass on.
You are on your way! And what fabulous things to do to make people smile!
If everyone could do just one random act of kindness a day, can you imagine how different the world would be??
What a great post! This is an inspiration for me. The last RAK I remember doing was putting some change in an expired meter a couple of weeks ago so that the person parked there wouldn’t get a ticket. =)
Great update! And such an inspiration!
