Brighten Someone Else's Day with Random Acts of Kindess

Helping someone anonymously, especially a stranger is sure to put a smile on your face. Here are some of the best ideas we found to get you started.

• Pay for the car behind you in the drive-through at a restaurant or coffee shop. • Put money in an expired parking meter. (Check your local laws first.) • Put some flowers on your neighbor’s porch. • Leave that awesome parking spot for someone else. (You could probably use the exercise anyway, right?). • Pay for the car behind you at a toll booth. • Forgive a debt, free and clear. • Deliver baked goods to your city workers.
•	Put coins in an expired dryer full of damp clothes.
•	Buy extra bags of pet food to take to your local animal shelter.
•	When you see firefighters, police, or members of the military in a restaurant, anonymously take care of their bill.
•	While visiting a hospital or nursing home, find out who doesn’t get any visitors and make a visit.
•	Brush off snow and ice on an extra car or two after you finish yours.
•	Leave coupons you won’t need on top of the corresponding items at the supermarket.
•	Send or take flowers to a local hospital with instructions for delivery to someone who needs them.
•	Give a magazine subscription to a nursing home.
