You can find inspiration anywhere and I found it on Facebook. One of my Facebook friends is celebrating her birthday in a great way. She is doing 35 random acts of kindness. Why 35? The reason for 35 is because she will be turning 35 in a few days. She started 35 days before her birthday and did 1 act of kindness per day. She has done some great things for random strangers. Here is some of the great things she has done so far.
Bought coffee for the person behind her in line.
Bought gifts for Toys for Tots.
Bought items for the giving tree at her church.
Repaired the computers of friends.
She taped lottery tickets to the gas pumps and wished whoever got the tickets luck.
She gave the electric outlet she was using for someone else at the airport.
She left dollar bills in the toy section of the dollar store.
Here are some of ideas I thought of in case you feel compelled to do a random act of kindness.
Put coins in the machines at the laundry mat.
Put quarters in the gum machines at a store.
Shovel your neighbors sidewalk when it snows.
Bring a co-worker coffee in the morning.
Bring in a bag of candy for everyone to share at work.
Donate old cell phones and chargers to a local battered women's shelter.
Put quarters in the meters at park spots.
Offer to walk someone dog.
I know this time of year people are in a giving mood. I think this is a great thing to do to celebrate your birthday every year. It is true it is better to give than receive. Hope you are as inspired as I am by this great idea.
