Do a random act of kindness every week

Sometimes it doesn’t seem that I have many talents to offer. But yesterday in conversation with an acquaintance it came to light that she does not type and had to prepare a 15 page assignment for a course she is taking. This was a daunting task for her so I offered to come and take dictation and type it for her. She was so pleased and it made me feel even better to do it for her.

So i’m driving on my way home from work sitting at a red light when I look over and see this old old man on the sidewalk picking something off the ground (maybe a coin). He sees me looking and starts waving and saying something, so I roll the window down and he walks over and asks if I can drive him to the store for a loaf of bread. My head tells me no, but he looks so pitiful and he had a very hard time even walking over to my car, so I told him to get in. He looks homeless and he clothes are stained badly. Right away I smell this dirty, rauncy odor comming from him. Its only a few blocks from the store and so its no big deal, but he wants me to wait for him. I waited and drove him back home and Ed (he introduced himself) thanks me profusly and shakes my hand. He says he will return the favor one day, but I told him he did me a favor by letting me help him today. I dropped him off in front of his house and he says I’m a lifesaver because he needed bread with his dinner. If you are reading this, say a prayer for Ed, I think he can use a few.

I bought a new plasma television and I didn’t really need the old tv. I could have put it in another room, but I took it over to my neice’s house and gave it to her. Her and her husband aren’t working and I knew if they didn’t need the TV they could always sell it.

My neighbor likes the idea I had to put up a flag, outside our condos. He copied me last year and installed a flag also. The one anoying thing about outside flags, is the wind wraps them up pretty well. My neighbor is retired and has more time than I do, so he keeps his flag looking pretty good. This week he isn’t home and so I got my ladder out and unwrapped his flag. Its a little thing, but when he comes home, its one less thing he has to do.

My next door neighbors light burned out. Its an automatic light thats always supposed to be on, and it hasn’t been. So I changed the lightbulb. She will probably never know that I did it, I have no intention of even mentioning it to her. It feels good to help someone, even if its a very small thing like that. Picture a world where everyone did that everyday for someone.

im always doing this :) i dont do it to feel good, i do it just to be kind, its usually small things but i believe small things are what makes the world go round :) theyr what count!

Today I went to clean Grampa’s house with my cousins and aunt. He had a bit of misfortune this week while cleaning his stove out with the shop vac. He didn’t realize there was a hole in the bag until he finished the job!

This week the owners of the company I work for were away and I was asked to care for their small dog while they were away. I didn’t exactly volunteer for this, but it came my way and I did it!

I’m petsitting for the weekend for my friend who is still away.

This weekend I cared for the pets of my friend while she’s away.
