People often ask me for free or inexpensive ways to show kindness to others. Several of the things I shared from the original 38 I featured on my blog were free (or close to it). Here are twenty more: -Open doors for others -Return shopping carts for people -Volunteer at the local food pantry, school, library, etc. -Thank someone for t...heir hard work -Write notes of appreciation to anyone who's made a difference -Look for ways to serve people in your family -Bring in the neighbor's garbage can/recycling bins -Help a coworker meet a deadline -Offer to watch a young mother's child for a few hours -Take a friend/neighbor's dog for a walk (and give him a nice brushing afterward!) -Mow/rake/sweep for an unsuspecting neighbor -Spend an hour picking up trash at a local park, beach or roadway -Go through your clothes and donate items to a local shelter -Spend an hour at the local nursing home assisting with crafts or reading to residents. -Adopt a soldier as a penpal -Give someone a compliment -Donate blood -Leave a positive comment on a blog -Let someone in line go ahead of you -Ask all your friends & family members to do something nice for one other person in honor of your birthday and to use the money they would have spent on a gift/card for you toward an act of kindness instead! Do you have any others that aren't listed here? Leave a comment and share your ideas! CommentsDorothy 01/26/2012 11:57
