There are so many negatives in our world but I "know" kindnesses happen every day. Let's hear about them...big or small whether it is help or a compliment.
Yesterday I helped a woman in a wheelchair by putting her groceries/gifts on the checkout belt.
The cashier was very pleasant about putting my cold items in my cold bag.
In another store a man got a worker's attention for me so I could ask where an item was.
This morning my husband told me I was beautiful I love that man
I was running downstairs to catch the train and if I missed it, I would've probably had another twenty minutes added to my trip (at least, and I come home late at night) and the conductor reopened the doors for me to jump in there.
We had food delivered and the security guard went out of my way to find me (they had the name but not the location in the building) so then I invited him to share in the food.
Yesterday I gave out some candy to my fellow candy lovers.
Our family was in the city at night, and my son wanted to go into his favorite store. He found out it was closed and became upset because someone manning the door was quite abrupt with him, and a bystander gave him a gift, just out of the blue. I could not believe it, it was very kind and so spontaneous. It really inspired me to pay it forward!
I've completed four Christmas-related volunteer projects in service to low-income folks in our local community. I gave my mailman some home-baked Christmas cookies and thanked him for all he does. I currently have two batches of cookie dough chilling and am about to start on a third -- I'll be donating the cookies to the local Rescue Mission for their Christmas feast.
Even a simple kind word is very meaningful - do not hesitate to be kind today and every day!
I have 3 new kitties after my neighbor threatened to poison them. So, I guess I did something nice for them.
Yesterday, at work, one of the catering guys was walking down the hall towards me while I walked towards the door. He turned around and walked back to the door to hold it for me. That was sweet.
A co-worker offered me a dollar so I wouldn't have to bust a twenty for a drink. Sweet lady.
Usually for Christmas I just give my co-workers a card, but this year has been really rough with a lot of changes, so I got everyone a little something that I tried to tailor to their interests. I hope it makes everyone feel a little less stressed this retail holiday season.
I made Xmas cookies and gave some to the PO clerk, library staff, my elderly landlord/neighbor, and his friend who looks after him.
He gets lots of hugs
That is really nice of you to do all of that baking.

I'm sure your coworkers will appreciate that.

My DH and I are building right now and living in our RV. My friend offered me use of her kitchen to do some holiday baking tomorrow. I will be making some treats for friends and also dog and horse treats for our new neighbors. I have only met a few of them but they all have horses, dogs and donkeys.
