Buy two chocolate bars or any other treats. Give both to a stranger along with a K-card. Tell them they must give one of the treats away along with the K-card.

We see graffiti everywhere and often hear "they should...." Well folks, "they" aren't likely to show up anytime soon. So, if we want a nicer looking city, it's up to us to make it so.
Studies have shown that when graffiti is removed, it shows up again soon after. But, when it keeps being removed, the perpetrators eventually give up. I'm not saying you should remove all graffiti everywhere but if you pick one or two spots and keep cleaning them up, eventually they will remain graffiti free. And, don't think you're alone in this. A lot of cities and merchants are happy to pay for clean up supplies and paint if they're getting free labour. So why not get a group together...maybe your boy scout troupe or maybe some big and little brothers and get crackin'. A great lesson for the kids. And you'll feel better for it! When was the last time you had someone over for lunch or dinner? Call your unemployed brother, your sickly mother or just invite an elderly neighbour over for a great meal. Play games afterwords.
Bring some special treats to a nursing home or a hospital. Make crazy cookies for the neighbourhood kids. Next time you're in a Dollar store buy an umbrella, a pair of gloves or something else you might give someone when they really need it.
What if today you did two random acts of kindness and suggested to each person you did them for that they do the same. Remember that old Farrah Fawcett shampoo commercial ...."I told two friends and they told two friends. and, so on , and so on..." I wonder how many acts of kindness we could as a group deliver day after day. Check out what these fine ladies did after witnessing one woman's act of kindness. click here
Smiling can do so many great things for you. Why wait for something to "make you" smile. Just do it and reap the rewards like...less stress....lower blood pressure and so much more continued..
