For Her

After sharing 8 random acts of kindness with my blogging pals, they gave me theirs that I haven’t tried before.

Here are 6 random acts of kindness given by my blogging pals:

1. Give your new neighbor a map of shops, bus-stops, and other amenities in your area.

2. If you see someone carrying heavy bags or trying to carry a pram up steps, offer to help them out.

3. Give your neighbor’s teen son or daughter the acne treatment cream that has worked to get rid of your son or daughter’s zits and pimples.

4. Tell someone in a discreet way if she has food in her teeth, an undone zipper or a stain on their clothes. They won’t be embarrassed; they’ll be grateful.

5. When tourists look lost, ask if they need help.

6. Take care of yourself. If you are happy, the others around you will be as well.

There are so many little ways you can make a difference in someone else’s life.

Here are 8 random acts of kindness that I have done recently. See if you have done before.

1. If your parking coupon is still valid when you leave a car park, pass it to someone who has just arrived.

2. Offer unused discount coupons to someone at the supermarket.

3. Let the person behind you in the supermarket go first if they are just buying a few items.

4. If you’ve finished reading your newspaper on the bus, offer it to a fellow passenger.

5. Share your umbrella with someone who’s going your way on a rainy day.

6. Offer a cold drink to the foreign worker doing upgrading work outside your flat, the boy at the carwash or the sweeper who keeps your corridor clean.

7. At the pharmacy, offer to translate the pharmacist’s instructions for someone who doesn’t speak English.

8. Phone a friend or family member ‘out of the blue’ just to say you love them.
