Random Acts of Kindness Ideas by njppa

Random Acts of Kindness (RAK): The phrase "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty" may have been coined by peace activist Anne Herbert. Herbert says she wrote it on a place mat at a Sausalito restaurant in 1982 or 1983. (source: Wikipedia - Random Acts of Kindness)

Simple ideas anyone can do:

* Get a few coworkers together and each week take turns buying a small bouquet of flowers. As a small group find a random someone who's brightened your day and thank them with the bouquet.
* Let someone know they're doing a good job; whether it's the clerk who's always getting your sandwich order right, the bus driver tho is always on time, .. It's amazing how many people go unthanked and what a huge impact a little thank you can have on someone's day.
* Hold the door open whether it be an elevator or a door in a business. It might sound simple but this basic courtesy can give someone a good feeling that someone's done something nice for them.
* Smile and give a friendly wave to someone to get their car in front of yours. So many people put on their blinders and grow tunnel vision. Everyone's got a place to go, letting one person in won't slow you down too much and will surely be somewhat of a relief for the person trying to rejoin the rat race.
* Leave praise on those comment cards, write a quick note to a headquarters when one of their stores has done good, let the staff know you're pleased with your children's teachers. Many don't think of commenting unless something is wrong. It's quite often that people will get the recognition they deserve when good things are pointed out by the customer.
* You've got a cart full of groceries, you're in a hurry and someone steps in line behind you with two items. What a fabulous way to someone a sigh of releif by giving them a quick gesture to go ahead with a smile.
* Surprise a friend and bring a homemade meal when they're feeling sad or under the weather.

There was a story some months back about a person who bought the person in back of them a coffee drink at a local coffee shop. It turned into a gave of 'tag you're it' as the next one in line repeated the favor, and so on. It is said to have gone on for well over an hour and was a big enough deal that people in the office started talking about it. Whether the story is completely true or not, the concept remains something we can all adapt. It doesn't have to mean buying a cup of coffee for a stranger, but it can mean being aware and asking yourself if there is opportunity to make life happier for others.

It costs virtually nothing to practice RAK in our daily lives so why not start today. At the very least, you can know you did a good thing, with a smile! And smiles are contagious.

Thank you!

Angel Poem

2007-07-26T17:48:00.001-07:00

Angels with me all the time,
This I ask you as I rhyme
Take my toils from this day,
Sooth my soul and wash away
Troubled memories in my thought,
Inside this vessel they now are not
Keep my spirit shinning bright,
As you guide from morn till night.

The Back Yard Miracle

2007-07-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

The Back Yard Miracle by corbazito

Looking back when I was fourteen and thought I knew it all. And was I ever so wrong. All this craziness started after my father had paid a friend to mow our lawn. After he had finished and gone I noticed the grass was a little on the yellow side. I had remembered a bag of stuff (fertilizer) on the side of the garage. It was a large bag and had been there for some time as this was a rental property and we had been there for two years. So I fertilized the twenty by twenty five foot back yard and dumped the rest which was about a third on my brothers five by fifteen foot garden. After dumping the last of it on the garden I looked around me in horror as everything was coated white. I had fertilized tenfold and hadn't even payed attention.

Now fearing for my life and knowing my back end was destined for the beating of my life I had to do something now to get rid of the evidence. The sudden thought of watering the area was the only thing I could think of to save my bacon. And water it I did for it took forty five minutes to dissolve all this white stuff. And man was I proud of myself for I had not been caught and this was all behind me now.

Two days later my mom proclaimed a miracle had happened in our back yard. The grass could not have been any greener and it was eight inches tall and all in the matter of two days. As for the garden my brother was so proud of his golden green thumb for his six to seven inch flowers had grown to sixteen inches,and the pumpkin and squash were three times the size. And I didn't say a thing as they called the neighbors and friends to come and see the miraculous spectacle that had occurred.

To this day I have never told anyone about the fertilizer incident. And I am glad I got my mom to believe in miracles and my brother to believe he was a gifted gardener.

Just think I was able to create a miracle in two days. P.S. Don't tell my mom. And my brother still talks about his best garden ever. P.S. Don't tell him either. But please do check out my wifes recipes at : http://karenkitchen.blogspot.com/

ANGEL ON FRIDGE

2007-07-21T10:39:00.000-07:00

I make a point of glancing at the fridge to remember that although my children aren't always angels, sometimes they come pretty close.

MATERIALS
6-in. paper doily
Spring-action clothespin
Glue
Photo
Magnetic tape, 1 1/2 in. long
Gold pipe cleaner
Gold foil paper

Fold the doily in half and then half again, to form a cone shape. Point the clothespin closed-side down. Glue the doily onto the top prong, forming the angel's dress. Cut a head out of a photo, then glue it onto the point of the doily. Glue magnetic tape onto the back of the clothespin. Wrap one end of the pipe cleaner around the bottom prong of the clothespin, shape into a halo, and trim. Cut the gold foil paper to resemble wings and glue onto the back of the clothespin's top prong. Clip blank paper to the clothespin mouth beneath the skirt for holding messages.

Angel Cream craft

Add some glittery eye shadow which has been broken up finely to a small amount of hand cream. Add to a small jar and decorate. Add poem. Rub a small amount on the back of a child's hand before going to bed to attract angels to watch over them in the night.

Poem:
Night is here, and it's time to go to bed.
But, before you lay down your sleepy head,
On the back of your hand rub some angel cream
So angels will watch over you as you dream.
