Still not doing so well with the RAoK. I just freeze when I want to do something. Am I going to offend someone? Interfere with some plan they have? I don't know. Being kind shouldn't be this hard...
1. Gave my Aldi cart to another customer. Didn't take the quarter back.
2. Tried to be nicer driving. Let people get in front of me at driveways.
3. Leaving tips for good customer service...even when they really didn't do anything. (carry out)
Cheers
For March, I had a really big random act of kindness and some small ones. The really big one was I paid for a WWII veteran's prescriptions when I was at CVS. I was disappointed that his daughter was not going to pay for them. So I did. No veteran should have to cover medicine, ever, in my opinion.
The second was small. I picked up a guys coat that fell off his chair at a restaurant. He was at the bar and completely oblivious to it laying on the floor. I've also been trying to be nicer while driving. You know, letting people in front of me at driveways or changing lanes.
Baby steps.
Cheers.
Every year I make the same New Year's resolutions. You know, lose weight, be nicer, save money. The same ones everyone makes. This year, I made the same ones, but I added some very specific, attainable goals too. The first? Give up pop for a year. So far, I've actually stuck to this one. It's been hard. I really like pop. But, how cool would it be to say I gave it up for a year?!
The second: do two random acts of kindness a month. This one is turning out to be harder than I thought. I kind of cheated for January. I didn't expect to be so shy and timid when I see an opportunity to do something nice. It frustrates me that I, and society, can't really speak out or act without fear of offending some one or getting physically hurt. I don't want to be this way and I want to be the change in the world. It's going to be a long year...
Cheers!
Here are my January RAoK;
1: bought GS cookies for soldiers (you can do this right on the order form)
2: grabbed this on my way out of Kroger. Hey, start small end big.
And my February RAoC:
I offered multiple homeless people food. They didn't take it (said they had enough food). This both hurt my feelings and bugged me. But I'm still going to keep trying.
