I bought the coffee for the car behind me in a Starbucks drive-through. It was really fun, because they tried to catch up to see if they knew me and I had to really outrace them. I like the idea of 'random acts of kindness'. It's a really tiny thing I guess.

If I did something for someone else without any desire for recognition, why would I want to brag about it here? I presume that the dearth of answers explains it all. ;-)

today actually was a big day of giving. Last night I baked 3 dozens cupcakes, 2 pies and 1 banana bread. Today I gave part of the cupcakes to my students, the other half to my coworkers as desert. I cooked supper (indian chicken with maple-curry veggies and rice) for my friends and tomorrow my co-workers will get a taste of the pies and banana bread....I guess I should stop saying that I hate to cook...;)

I am fighting against the ruling of Proposition 8 so that gays have the right to marry. I am not gay nor do I have any friends who are gay but I have spent the past couple of weeks handing out fliers, making youtube videos, and encouraging people to fight the ruling all so that gays can have the right to marry. Also I gave a couple of dogs some sausage the other day. They were happy about that. I have also been creating youtube videos encouraging people to stand up for themselfs and speak their mind. I have nothing to gain from that at all. I also donated some money to an African disease prevention charity and education fund. I also donated some money to my History teacher. About 13 dollars worth and I plan on handing her much more.

Was headed home last night when I observed a family whose car had stalled in 4 lanes of traffic last night. Swung a u-turn, parked and offered to help push the car to the nearby cross street, out of traffic. Once the car was safely parked and the guy assured me help was on the way, I went back to minding my own business.

I try to do something almost every day. Might be as small as holding open a door for someone else. Might be just talking with a stranger, wishing them a great day. Leaving them with a smile. Little things sometimes mean a lot.

I do things for others often, just as a part of every day. Kindness and caring can come in many ways, some too small to even mention. I don't think of rewards when doing things.
