Thoughtful acts, and small kindnesses..

[jynxxxedangel]

What small, simple things have you done today-- that made someone feel loved, showed care for the well-being of another living creature, and/or made the world a better place?

Just a moment ago, I was mindful to cut up a plastic six-pack holder; so that when it goes to the dump, some poor dumb animal won't choke or strangle upon it.

Silly, perhaps..but it's just something I have always done, ever since I saw a seagull struggling pitifully with one wrapped about its throat.

Now, this is very important, and it is something everyone should do. Every day, I tell my closest friends I love them. If they are not present, or incommunicado, I whisper it to the wind-- in hopes it will get back to them.

I was able to tell my best friend and my mother that I love them today. Don't want to miss an opportunity. I also got up early to wash all the dishes before my mom woke up so that she wouldn't have to touch them this morning.

I transferred some feeder crickets into a nice, pet-like enclosure. Two fellers, and a lady crickie. The males have been filling the house with their music, and I find it to be comforting. They even sing along merrily when I have tunes playing, or when I myself am singing.

Yes, I've gone soft in the head. I need to buy some more spider food, now. *rolls eyes*

[Head Wreck]

breed veggie spiders?

[Enishi]

I avoid stepping on ant hills when walking down the side walk. It takes a lot of work for them to build those things.

Now I just need to work on quelling my urge to massacre every wasp nest I find...

[candyman]

I don't expose my nakedness in public...and I don't talk about what I do...

[Msterbeau]

I ALWAYS try to say thank-you and please when appropriate.

[pomba gira]

I always say "Thank you" and "Have a blessed day" to service people (cashiers, receptionists, etc). Seems pretty basic to me but so often they seem surprised to be acknowledged like that. And I try to compliment people whenever possible... let coworkers know when I think they've done a good job... little things like that.

Once I made my 2nd hubby move a dead squirrel out of the road so the crows could feast undisturbed... I must admit tho, that was equal parts altruism and desire to get on the Crow Tribe's good side

[candyman]

Today I actually obeyed the 30 foot rule when I smoked outside...yet those "better than thou" bastards still gave me shit. I can't seem to please people...

[jynxxxedangel]

Every time I see any sort of container to put money in for a worthwhile charity, I give as much as I can. I may not have much, but there are others who have less.

[Homicidalheathen]

I had to do something devious....to help me best bud. I am acting like I am mad at him to find out what she is up to.

[Msterbeau]

I help people fix their cars.

[jynxxxedangel]

I always feed my company, when they come to visit.

[candyman]

I secretly keep my friends cars in good shape to keep them running right...there is still nasty exhaust but it could be alot worse...

[torn asunder]

not dating anyone now, thus enabling them to lead happy, productive lives!

[ManicQueen]

I received a card today that made me feel loved and that I don't have to go through life alone no more.

I try to do something good everyday such as taking my roomie to work or making coffee at a meeting. It's the little things we do that can make a huge difference in someone's day and that's what matters.

[Brenda Starrr]

I have my own volunteer organization, as some of you know.

I send donations to Gilchrest Hospice in my Dad's name. That's where he passed...*sigh*

They only take what Medicare pays, as well as donations.

I helped clean the new area to become the community garden on Second & Willis. I have never done yardwork a day in my life before this. This wasn't just yard work. It was more like prison work. I cut down branches and vines for 2 hours straight. Curl Up & Dye and the DDG have purchased plots for it!

Some of my organization and I will be doing work with Project Playground. I hope to do more to beautify our city!

I walk for Autism and the MI Humane Society. I plan to walk for Alzheimer's as well.

We have a year-round canned food drive for St. Patrick's in Detroit. If anyone would care to donate, there's a thread in General Promo.

I plan to be a hugger for the Special Olympics.

[Slogo]

I just try to be nice to people. I know that I've failed sometimes (Esp. recently) but really, being nice is all I have to give and I do my best with it.

[taysteewonderbunny]

I have nothing to report myself, but I think Spook should get kudos for helping me keep my sanity yesterday. Yay, Spook!

[Msterbeau]

About to give Kimberly a jump start. No... not that way. Her car!

[jynxxxedangel]

I'm well known for saving earthworms from mud puddles and rain gutters, and moving them by the hand full to higher ground. Just ask my husband.

I also brake (taking into regard the other motorists, of course) for animals, even stupid ones, like squirrels, Canadian geese, and robins during mating season (I've narrowly missed quite a few birds, this week).

Thanks Marc!

[Guest Megalicious]

I bought a homeless guy lunch. There is always the same guy on the off ramp. I stopped and asked him what he wanted ... and then dropped it back off to him. He was not only grateful for food, but grateful that I had the decency to STOP and ASK WHAT HE WANTED. ...

[Scales]

I waited a few minutes to sign in..

[Homicidalheathen]

I resisted killing someone...does that count?
