On Monday, I found a note on my car. It was a stranger letting me know I needed air in my tire. How randomly kind is that? I used to love acts of random kindness but this made me realized it’s been a while since I’ve come across a random act of kindness. Someone actually honked at me for wasting one second of their lives as I handed over some food to a homeless person. I usually don’t flick people off but I’m quick to anger when behind a wheel.
I don’t know how to gauge air pressure and Alan was asleep so I drove over to Deesh, Bing, and Brittany’s and Deesh helped me. Deesh and Brittany, I’m finding are the epitome of acts of kindness.
I hope this blog entry has inspired you to take a moment and maybe do something nice for a stranger (or friend). Spread some cheer.

I’m going to let the air out of someone’s tire, then leave them a note saying their tire is low :-D

This post reminds me that I haven’t done my RAOK Starbucks run in a while. :)

Nev, you’re silly. I got your voicemail on my way to my second job! I will return your call soon. Maybe you have more blogger events you can invite me to except this time with more notice! ;)
Cindy – this reminded me of your RAOK starbucks run!
On Oprah, there was a couple who would randomly pick patrons at the same restaurant and take their tab anonymously

“When one begins to purposefully perform acts of kindness, the spirit changes and soon doing good deeds becomes a focal point for our life; doing good begins to be the same as feeling good. The periods of emptiness when we search for the “meaning of it all” begin to fill with acts of kindness.”
