7 Kind Things to do This Year ...

I always believe in doing acts of random kindness. You can really change a persons mood by doing this. Don’t just do it for people you know, but do it for strangers that you see walking past you. There are various acts of kindness that you can do. In the blog below, I am going to give you 7 kind things to do this year.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Deposit Coins in an Expired Meter

When you see an expired meter and someone is parked in front of it, then deposit some coins in it for the individual. Surely, they are going to enjoy your act of kindness as it will save them from a ticket.

Send Care Packages to Soldiers

There is a site that I would like to give you: anysoldier.com. You should really look into this site. There are soldiers names, which you can go through and randomly send them care packages and letters. I always thought this was a good idea as I know they need to know we support them – imagine the soldiers face when they open a care package you sent over.

Frequently asked questions

Help Someone Randomly

When you see someone in a parking lot struggling to lift something, don’t be afraid to go over and offer your help. I remember when my Mustang got stuck on the beach, an old guy stayed and made sure he got the car out. See, it’s things like that that will leave an impression on people.

Donate Money

Oh yes, there are plenty of places out there that need some extra money. There is breast cancer awareness, the pound and many other foundations.

Compliment a Stranger

If you like how someone’s hair looks, then give them that compliment. If you like someone’s shirt, then tell them. Compliment a stranger and you could end up making that strangers day. Taking someone’s sadness and changing it into happiness is truly an act of kindness.

Donate Clothes to People Who Need Them

There are charities and drop boxes where you can donate clothes to those who are in need of it. Some people donate things through Craigslist free of charge, but with Craigslist, the people could turn around and sell the items. There are various places out there you can donate clothes and toys to that will make sure it goes to the right place.

Adopt a Puppy

I remember writing a blog last year around this time. I remember mentioning this one and I am going to mention it this year as well. Adopt a puppy. If not a puppy, then some other pet. If you know that you are ready for this extra family member, then make sure you get them from the shelter.

Those are 7 kind things to do this year. You should get out a pen and paper and start making a list of kind things you should do this year. So, have any of you already did something kind this year? Keep it up.

I love nice posts:) they warm my heart!

Number 6 has really inspired me to do it! There are always men and women out there in need of our help. As for number 6, I hope someone does this for me as I will too in return. Thanks for this awesome post.

Khushboo, I love doing that! I love finding pennies and I think of the joy other people will get from it:)

Hey, this has nothing to do with this post, but can someone please do a post on how to get a guys attention without being too forward (even if you aren't allowed to date) I know it's a hard topic that won't apply to a lot of people but I would love it if there were more love tips posts. Or even love quizzes. Thanks:)

Thanks for the great ideas! I am going to check out this soilder website.

Yea it's just like whenever I see a penny in my purse, I just set it somewhere I think someone will find it. :)

I do this one thing where I leave pennies faced up in just random places, and because i'm a college student, i actually do it a couple of days before everyone starts exams. I just feel like... maybe that penny that i don't need, someone else needs it. :)

I especially like number 1 ;)
