I am always thinking and worrying about myself and others too. This will help me keep things balanced. Remind me to smile, and to help others smile. The whole idea, “Commit Random Acts of Kindness” I think I used to have a button or sticker with that on it. Time to make it happen. I wonder if there is a “recurring” option on this site, because I don’t think I want to have this removed once I do it. No matter how “big” or how “small”, surprising someone in my life that I care about, can’t be done often enough. Now, who’s my first assignment????
How to surprise someone
How I did it: For a period of time I was living in a different state from my mother. Being busy with our careers, it was hard to see each other that often. I planned a surprise trip to visit her. She owns a restaurant so when I arrived I called her from out front and asked her what was on special for the day. She was alittle confused as she was telling me. But, then I said "Can you make me a plate of the Chicken Ravioli with Tomato Cream Sauce?" and I walked in.
The surprised look on her face was priceless!
Lessons & tips:
- Come up with a good plan
- Don't tell anyone who can't keep a secret!

I got my grandmother a gorgeous mini-bouquet in a glass vase and a cute little card and visited her in the hospital after her hip replacement.
She was really hurting and I’m glad I got to cheer her up a bit. I’ll count this one as done.

go visit my Grandma in the hospital next week when she gets her hip replacement. Then during the three weeks it will take for her to heal and go through rehab I hope to surprise her multiple times.

well it was my friends birthday and i think she suspected i was getting a cd for her so i wrapped it up many many times in lots of layers and bubble wrap and carboard and it ended up looking kind of retangular. :) she seemed a bit surprised but it’s not really the surprise i’m looking for. :) i think i can do better so i’ll see if i can find something else to try again with. :)

I gve all the little goofy prizes I won out to little kids. It was a whole heck of a lot of fun. I really enjoyed seeing their faces light up when I gave them the little toy. Yay!
