Psyched!

Jeni has got me all psyched with the Random Acts of Kindness! Would you like some suggestions? Here are a few....

1. Give a hug to a friend.
2. When drivers try to merge into your lane, let them in with a wave and a smile.
3. Pay a compliment at least once a day.
4. Give the gift of your smile.
5. Buy a stranger a free pizza.
6. Offer a couple of hours of free babysitting to parents.
7. Send a gift anonymously to a friend.
8. Slip a $20 bill to a person who you know is having financial difficulty.
9. Write a thank-you note to a mentor or someone who has influenced your life in a positive way.
10. Leave a bouquet of flowers on the desk of a colleague at work with whom you don't normally get along.

Bummed.

Man, for the whole past week I had been planning on going to the Life Chain downtown and then when the day finally comes, it's record breaking heat, and I just can't bear to stand out in the hot sun for an hour and a half. I was really bummed. To justify it, I reminded myself how I make a statement every time that I'm in my car with the bumper sticker "She's a child, not a choice" on my back window. Hopefully I will be able to make it next year with my newly adopted baby! No, we don't have the baby yet, but by this time next year we should!
