Hi guys and girls!

It's Random Acts of Kindness Day today and although you should all be doing something nice on a regular basis make sure you go out of your way to cheer someone up or help them out today! Hope you're all have a great day and you pass on a smile to a stranger. What are some of your acts of kindness lately?! Even the smallest thing goes a long way for someone

Good karma

Here's a little blog http://www.366randomacts.org

Also... Happy Friday!! I think we should keep this open and every Friday (if I remember) I'd like to send a post out to everyone to start the weekend with some kind words.

I had mine prematurely! Wednesday night I was downtown to meet up with other people that are back in Toronto for their teaching placement. I grabbed a drink at Union station on my way home and the woman gave me like 18 bucks in change when I only should have gotten 13 back. I took like 5 steps before I realized and went back to give her the extra 5. Her and her co-worker were totally flabbergasted that I came back to return the money and thanked me with their faces still in shock. It was pretty priceless. Good deed done!


PS what a nice fuzzy warm feelings thread. loves it. haha.

I work at a convention center and as I walked out to the loading dock waiting for a delivery I noticed one of our custodians wrestling one of those giant trash bins out of the dumpster. Instead of ignoring it, I stopped what I was doing and helped him back the thing out. He is an older gentleman and obviously couldnt do it himself. Other people saw this going on and didn't even lift a finger. It felt good helping the guy because he is always friendly with everyone. Needless to say, I had to wash my hands really well afterwards.

I like this warm fuzzy thread it's needed that's awesome what you did. Pretty rare that people give back money so you should be even more proud Ev haha.

Mincy it's crazy that people won't take the time out of their day to do something like that eh, I've never understood people like that. Good on ya! I hope the smell came out

Mine came on Saturday. I was at the local rink one of the towns best teams was playing a rival. The home teamd goalie broke his stick. I ran to my car and grabbed mine so he didn't have to play with a players stick. When he went to give it back after the game I told him to keep it. It's one of the small thing I could do.

I missed my first Friday so I'm making up for it today!! Happy Monday everyone (who say's that... I do). Hope everyone had a spectacular weekend full of pick ups and hockey or spending time with people you love

Check out this playlist to make your Monday a bit better! It's kind of mellow/chill mixed in with some heartfeltness and indie stuff... Perfect for the current weather I'd say! Cheers.

Welcome Home is a pretty solid track I've gotta say.

Oh and for random kindness. Had a PD day friday so a bunch of teachers went to lunch and my associate teacher (the one I work with) paid for my lunch. So that was really cool.

This thread needs some lovin'

This morning I was on the highway in NY State (with my family) and as we were exiting the highway the car in front of us, a late 90s Mustang, kinda lost control and locked up and slid into a huge snow bank. My dad was driving and we pulled off to the side a little ways down the road. I hopped out and my dad and I tried to help this guy get outta the snow. He was around my age (22-24ish) and basically had no idea what to do. His phone was dead and the car was stuck. So we called AAA and I charged his phone with my laptop. We hung out and waited till a tow truck came to drag him out. The snow sucked here today.

good deeeeed
