What Good Have You Done Lately?

In the service station on the way home from my hols yesterday a little girl was strugging with the taps in the toilet. One woman just let her struggle, so I went over and gave her a hand. I also helped someone carry their pushchair down some stairs as everyone else just let the poor lady struggle, I know how hard it can be so I gave her a hand. I am always willing to lend a hand to others if I can, and it is a good feeling to lend a hand to others in a moment where they are stuggling. I do not understand how people can just stand by and watch them struggle.

hmm.. tough one. but you're right about it. we have this charitable institution here in the philippines called red cross. they provide health assistance. they are known for their blood bank campaign where people donate their bloods for those who are in need. i haven't tried donating blood yet but lately, red cross volunteers are scattered across the tollgates with some kind of offering bags for donations. i always make it a point to give everytime i pass one. i don't know if you can consider this as a random act of kindness but that's the only thing i can think of right now. sorry. ;'(

Today as we started to go into Sams Club shopping we grabbed a few carts and brought them inside as they were in the middle of the parking lot. So I saved a customer the hassle of having to move it as they were to park or leave as well as helping the employess have 3 less carts to bring back into the store themselves. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM DADDY !!~

your right minnie it doesn't take much to make some ones day.this weekend i am doing home visits for the hospital.i will do their blood tests at home as they are too elderly or sick to get into the hospital.i find most of these oldies are lonely,so i stay a while and have a chat and that ususally makes their day.cheers sue

The main thing I try to do is take supper to my in-laws when they have been working in the yard or building furniture. Sometimes after supper when I'm starting to clean up. I fix plates for them if I think they haven't eatin yet. They always appreciate it. I can't afford to really do anything for anyone.

I have helped my grandson find a toy in his toy box. I have given some top rate answers on yahooanswers. I try to help the little kids around my neighborhood see some options as far as their behaviour too. I just try to make an inpact, no matter how small, in my little corner of the world. I think if we all did that we would begin to see a change.

i think i need to make something new & let my friend to be in one hand again, because they have miss understanding for how many days now.so i want them to be same like before.

wehn out doing things I smile all the time.

I always do random acts of kindness for others every day of the week. It never comes back to me though, it seems. It wears me out waiting for it to happen. I am always doing things for others, mainly within my home. I used to do it for others outside of my home but I got tired of being used and never even acknowledged afterwards. I work seven days per week to help my family make it. I tried to help my husband out in the yard this weekend but he never hardly talks to me so I stopped and came in. He invited acquaintances to help him today though and talks their head off. We are supposed to be best friends but he never had friendly words to say to me as his wife. It is always some off of the wall conversation. I always try to make everyone around me happy but never get it back. No wander I stay so depressed.

Oh not sure if this applys or not to random acts of kindness but the other day I was feeling really down in the dumps and I got on a site that my grandson goes to that he can fix his chat page up with things he likes and I bought and sent him come credits so he can buy even more things for his chat page. He had no idea I was going to do this. I noticed that he has bought new stickers and got a new avatar. They do get free credits to get new things but when your purchase some you can get better ones. He was really surprised and happy. He can really enjoy it now since yesterday at noon he is out of school for the summer.

Well I dont know if this counts as random but I found a$100 bill and caught up with the man who dropped it to give it back to him,he was getting gas and I guess it came out of his pocket but he sure was glad to get it back as he just cashed his social security check and that was his bill money.Have a great day.

The only good deed I can think of this week was when I saw a mother let go of her child's pushchair so she could turn round and speak to her older child who was playing up behind her. She did not seem to notice that she was on a slope and the pushchair began to roll down the slope towards me. Of course I stopped it and pushed the child back up to the mother, who looked rather alarmed when she turned back to see her infant was not where she expected. And she was very grateful to me. If I can make someone feel better with a smile and a cheerful word I will do so.

im gona sound retarted saying this but ive been with my grandma all week and the kids both had a play in school so i hlp the teachers out, this weekend im just staying home and curling up to a nice book and some hot chocolate with the kids lol, but you are right we should do something nice for someone else its a blessing bieng anble to help some else.

let me see...this is a tough one....i helped a small boy by dropping him home frm the park as he had got hurt..i spent more time with my kid today without being impatient with him and v made greeting cards to b sent to his grandparents...i met my aunty in the hospital who is suffering frm cancer of ovaries...i guess thats all...these r the quality things i can think of

Well, i am not very proud of my live, but i try to do dedicate and more patient to my work and people at the place i living. And i sleep and work here been two years without see my family in another island. Miss them.. But here. they are family too, i try to be nice with the Balinese and care, even with the rasis one who hate jawaniese. And I'm still trying.

"Random acts of kindness," is all I ever do. It is what my mother did and taught, so it is who I am. I love to do nice things for people just to see them smile. I guess one of the things that I did recently was to give a friend a gift bag full of free samples and little gifts. She always gives me things like lotions and such, so today I decided to make up a special bag for her. I have given her things before, but this time I made it extra nice. So when she comes home tomorrow she will get a wonderful surprise.

Well I believe in Karma, so I try to do something good every day. Today, I held the door for a man carrying in a bed and continued to hold it for the elderly man who was behind him. I also helped a little girl who lost her balloon. I guess that's not much, but even the small things matter. Tomorrow I'll do good for the earth. I'm going grocery shopping and I won't use plastic bags. I'll use my new re-usable bags.

The last thing I did, and I wasn't aware I was doing it, was cheer up my neighbor who had been really blue for the past couple of weeks because her Aunt, whom she considered more of a sister, passed away unexpectedly. I asked her to help me touch of up my roots...the blond was making a strong comeback...so she came over and we were joking around and chit chatting as she put my color in. Then after I had washed it all out and dried it, we continued to chat (all during the entire process) and then the hubby came back from his walk and we all chit chatted more. We clowned around on the internet for a while and I showed her a funny YouTube video I had found. We all just kept joking around and had each other in stitches and tears. She got ready to leave and she turned to both the hubby and I and thanked us for making her laugh for the first time in 2 weeks or so. So, we didn't know we were helping to cheer her up but, we did! This weekend, I will try to do something kind for someone else but, I am feeling pretty down myself right now because I caught the hubby's cold and it is beating the fedge out of me and I am only into day 4 of it. It started with a burning or stinging in my sinuses 4 days ago, then 3 days of a sore throat, and last night the stuffy, drippy, stuffy, drippy irritating nose related crap started. And, today I am struggling to breath. I am becoming a mouth breather. Even nose spray isn't really doing much of the trick! And, I know from watching my hubby that it is only going to get worse! But, I will do my best to do something kind for someone else! LOL! Now, can someone give me the cure for the common cold? LOL! That could be your act of random kindness! LOL!

Other than holding doors when people don't expect it, the one thing that stands out in my mind is when I ate at Friendly's once and my meal came with a free sundae. Well, I wasn't in the mood for it and I couldn't take it back to work, so I told the waitress to give it to someone with a child who just looked like she could use a nice gesture - maybe she was counting pennies to pay for her meal, whatever. I'd leave it up to her. I thought the woman was going to cry. It was a tiny thing in the long scheme of things, but I wanted to make sure it was someone who would definitely appreciate that act of kindness. You see - once I had a birthday party planned for my son - his 7th, I think. We had reserved space at the local pizza place for the 10 guests we had invited. Everyone said they'd be there. This included cousins. Well - not one single person showed up. My son didn't know what to think, but I know what I thought and I was angry. Family blowing off family is just beyond excuse. Well, two women came up to us and asked us what was happening - I told them. They expressed how sorry they were and left. About 25 minutes later, those two women came in with arms full of gifts for my son!! They said they couldn't bear the shame of his own family standing him up - even his father didn't come. So, they bought him gifts. It was ME who almost cried. I've never been able to do much to pass that on, but the Friendly's sundae just seemed to be the thing. Maybe it didn't mean much to the person, but I'll bet the child will always remember it! My son does.

Hmmm.... I think I did something good yesterday by finally agreeing that my boyfriend will leave me to work abroad for 2 years... I know that is something good because it is for his own good and career as well... I just want to look at the brighter side. Cheers!
