Last month I saw that Katie Sokoler tweeted that she was going to be participating in the 26 Acts Of Kindness project, as a response to the tragedy in Connecticut. I decided that I would too, and from December 19 - January 14, I worked on doing random acts of kindness for my friends, coworkers, and strangers.
+ delivered snacks to the workers at my post office
+ picked up some things that a man dropped in a check out line
+ added a donation to my meal for St. Judes
+ sent a random acts of kindness calendar to Secret Agent L, who runs a RAOK site
+ gave a homeless woman some money
+ left money in an envelope for a coworker to get a soda
+ held a bouquet of balloons and a sign that said "have a great day" on the street*
+ mailed a bunch of random goodies to 10 friends
+ created a bubble wrap installation for people to use as a relaxation station*
+ made a mix CD of some of my favorite songs and left it for a stranger
+ created a Small Things Museum for people to use and play with*
+ sent flowers to my boss at work
+ brought snacks in for coworkers
+ + donated money towards someone's layaway account at KMart
