Random Acts of Kindness

Some people say that Random Acts of Kindness are silly, or that they don't really "work," but I am one to definitely disagree with that. I don't know a single person who doesn't appreciate a little ray of sunshine in their life. Doing random acts of kindness are guaranteed to brighten up anyone's day. You never truly know what someone else is going through, and your random act may just be the one thing that cheers them up. Here are some examples of things you can do, either by yourself or with friends, as some random acts of kindness:

  1. Leave money in a vending machine for someone
  2. Bake cookies and bring them to a nursing home
  3. Write thank you notes and pass them out to your school teachers and staff
  4. Pay for the person behind you in a drive-through
  5. Hold the door open for someone
  6. Write a letter to your best friend
  7. Pick up trash at a park or any other outdoor, public area
  8. Write positive notes and put them up on the mirror in a public restroom
  9. Compliment a stranger
  10. Wheel out your neighbor's trash bin
  11. Send care packages to soldiers
  12. Donate your unwanted clothes
  13. Deliver snacks/meals to your local fire/police department
  14. Make a "take what you need" sign and hang it on a bulletin board somewhere
  15. Send a friend a video or post that makes you think of them
There are SO many other things you could do for your random act of kindness, the list is literally endless. I hope this short list gave you some inspiration on what you can do for yourself!

"Today is a Good Day for a Good Day"

This is one of my all time favorite quotes. To my knowledge, it isn't originally by anyone in particular. The first time I heard it though, I heard it from my mentor, "big sister", and friend, Abby. I love this quote because it's such a great reminder. It's pretty much become my motto too, because of how much I say it. Allow me to really explain to you why I like it so much. When you really think about it, we as people mostly have control over our mood and how we feel. We have the power to either let little things get to us, or not let them bother us in the least bit. I understand that sometimes we just have those days where we feel like we don't have control over anything at all, but that's why I said for the most part;) My love for this quote first started on a mission trip to Haiti I went on last February. We had to wake up super early in the morning to get the day started after staying up really late still working. Every morning Abby would come aroun

Alphabetical Adventures

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why would you go there? What if you only got to go to 26 places and each place had to start with a different letter of the alphabet? For a lot of people, I'm sure the first two questions have easy answers. The last question however, is a little bit trickier to think of answers for. In this post, I'll be answering that 26 places question and hopefully giving you some ideas of where you might want to go if you were ever asked:) Amsterdam: this place just seems like it'd be a really fun place to be and travel to. Barcelona: in all honesty, it's just because Ed Sheeran has a song with this as the title. California: there's so many different places to go here and fun things to do. The fun and exploration would be endless. Dominican Republic: I know a lot of people who have been and they all say that it's beautiful there and that there are so many fun things to do and I'd really like to try them o

Tea Time

For the most part, all of my blog posts until now have either been upbeat, cheery, helpful, or just happy, and that's great. That's what I wanted this blog to really be about. With that though, comes a big "but." Happy posts are great, and they're what people usually want to read but rants are a thing to be written and talked about as well. In this post, I'll be sharing with you all one of my biggest pet peeves, and you'll get a little insight as to how I view it. Alright so here it goes... being rude. Probably my number one pet peeve right there. I hate it when people are rude. There's absolutely no reason for it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure that I've had my fair share of being rude to others in the past, but there is a big difference where you say something or act in a way and don't realize it necessarily, or if you're just blatantly rude for no reason. People who put down others, or say rude or mean things, are my very lea
