RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Today is UK kindness day, so do something nice for someone.
Kindness Day


Kindness is Catching

Being kind to others not only feels good and benefits other people, but it tends to spread as those who receive an act of kindness often pay it forward.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The idea behind Random Acts of Kindness Day is to
do something nice for someone for no reason,
similar to a pay it forward mentality.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here are some idea's (but the little things count too!)

Do yard work or housework for an elderly neighbour

Leave a gift/flowers on the doorstep of a lonely friend

Spend time talking with or playing cards with a lonely friend or neighbour

 Call an elderly relative and chat about their day.

Treat a co-worker at coffee break.

Put a love note in your family's lunch, briefcase, or book bag.

Tape a note and some change to a vending machine for someone who's short of change.

Feed a parking meter that has expired.

Pack an extra lunch and give it to a homeless person.

You get the idea anything goes.

Attach a note saying

Please AccEPT
 This Random Act
Of Kindness

THANKSGIVING FAMILY TRADITION

This is a lovely Thanksgiving tradition that can be added to year after year.

This could be adapted for Christmas, Weddings, Birthdays or any special occasion really.

Family and friends write what they are thankful for or a short message or just their names, and babies hands are drawn around in a sectioned off part of a tablecloth which is dated. 

Then all pen marks are embroidered as a permanent keepsake

PAPER AEROPLANES

Liam has a friend coming over on Saturday, 

and if the bad weather keeps up we will need some indoor activities so they don't think they can play on the Wii or DS all day.

So we are going to construct, draw a design on them and fly them 

(who's goes the farthest wins)
