I'm trying to end 2014 with several acts of kindness today. I just got back from the post office where I dropped off my wedding dress and my eyeglasses. Those items are on their way to their new homes. While out, I made an effort to smile at everyone in the post office and wish them a happy new year. Also there was a janitor cleaning the floors in front of the post office's entrance. He paused and expected me to walk through area he had just mopped to drop off my packages at the desk. He had his mop ready to wipe up where I walked. However rather than walking through his newly cleaned floor, I walked to the desk around the clean spots & on the area that had not yet been mopped. You should have seen his smile. No sense in making him work extra an have to re-mop when I could take a few extra steps around to give his clean floor time to dry.
After I got home, I put away my garbage can and then my neighbors garbage can too. This neighbor never makes eye contact with me and snubs me if I try to talk to her ... all the time for NO REASON. I don't know if I have offended her or what, but since her car was gone I figured she wasn't home and brought her garbage can in too. If I am going to do this kindness thing, I am even going to be nice to someone who isn't nice to me.
It is now noon and I am looking up volunteer opportunities and items to donate online. Ready for the New Year!
