Random Acts of Kindness

It is February 1st... a day I usually dread because it is the start of my birthday month.

I LOVE celebrating other people's birthdays, but I HATE my own. My family and close friends will agree, every year I do my best to make sure I'm working on my birthday or finding some way to get out of having to celebrate it. I hate the attention, and I hate getting gifts (except from my hubby.... give away John!). I just would so much rather see others spend their time and money on themselves, their goals, or their wishes.

SO, I already requested to work my birthday, got that covered, but since it is my GOLDEN birthday (yikes!) I decided to do what I love most for my birthday... giving to others. Februray will be a month of 28 different random acts of kindness, my present to myself for my birthday!

Here is my list that I can't wait to start checking off!

Golden Birthday Random Acts of Kindness:
1. Leave a bag of popcorn on a Red Box machine
2. Send an e-mail to my manager about a good worker
3. Leave quarters on a machine at the laundromat
4. Buy a snack while checking out at Target for the cashier
5. Give someone a lotto ticket
6. Send a letter to someone in the service thanking them
7. Volunteer
8. Drive through difference (buy the car behind me their coffee)
