Happyness is... Random Acts of Kindness

I was happy to stumble across this slide show on the Internet last week.  Click HERE to see it.
I hope you enjoy viewing the slide show as I did. The slides reminded me of lots of things that have happened this past week for for which I can be grateful.

The other day when I was at the grocery store, I found a clipped coupon someone had brought to the store. It was for a a particlar brand of eggs and I found the coupon lying on top of the carton of eggs. Apparently the Good Samaritan Coupon Clipper decided to NOT use the coupon afterall and left it on the shelf for someone like me to stumble upon. I took the coupon and used it for my eggs but next week I want to bring coupons and leave them on items I decide not to purchase. How fun is that?

My son and I drove to Pueblo for tennis tournaments on Thursday and Friday; he's been a licensed driver for just under 6 months. It pleased me him see him moving over into the left hand lane to allow merging traffic to safely merge. While in Pueblo, we went out to pizza and the waitress was not the best. But still I gave her a nice tip... because I remember being a waitress and I remember how great those tips were!

We have a new neighbor... a young single man with a young adopted son.  He just started a new job and he's not been able to landscape his front yard yet (it's in a bad state due to neglect from the previous owner).  The young homeowner doesn't have his own mower yet. Yesterday, my husband mowed the weeds in the neighbor's yard to clean it up a bit. While he was at it, my husband also cleared away some other yard debris.  I was proud of my hubby for doing that.

My neighbors routinely wheel our trash can up to our garage door after the trash has been picked up.  Our neighbors are all quite elderly; it's so sweet of them to do this for us!

Last week, I brought my homemade dog toys to work and gave them away to coworkers who have dogs... Mr. W, Ms. H, Mrs. W, Dr. K, and Dr. M.   Mr. W was so happy with the gift for his rottweiler that he sent me a photo so I could see his dog enjoying the toy!  For Ms. H, I made a dog toy and also a skid-proof mat for her doggies; she sent me a photo to show me how much she appreciated the homemade goodies.

Whether you are on on the "giving" end or the "receiving" end... Happyness is a Random Act of Kindness.
