A further little list off ideas
from my neice:
All things that can be pushed through a letter box are good.
Names taken completely at random from a phone book are good (for cards, small gifts, even a gift token if we feel rich.)
Nice/funny messages or jokes left under windscreenwipers are good.
Flowers given to unlikely looking people are very good.
Chocolate left/hidden where it isn't normally found is good.
Books finding new owners are good...
Now me again:
I thought about making a baking a batch of fairy cakes (cupcakes in US) and distributing them as "Very happy unbirthday" cakes. --be great if you worked in an office or something! (sneakily , of course)
Is anyone retiring or leaving ? How about getting everyone who knows them to add to the list "What I'll miss about You"
I got served in a sort of diner by a really nice girl,and I was going to leave her a little tip when I thought NO, if I was in a better restaurant , I'd have left a much bigger tip for someone who was not half as obliging and friendly. So I left a bigger tip and she came and told me I'd made a mistake. I told her no, she deserved it and she came and told me all about her training and she was so proud of herself! It was just lovely.
give a smile to someone grumpy.
Do I dare do the Free Hugs thing that someone had a link for? Have any of you?

I work in a childcare center in a Infant Classroom. ( I have been teaching infants for 12 years) Some of our little ones start at 6 weeks old. When new mothers are having a hard time dropping off for the first time I always offer a hug and let them know that they can call me and my team anytime. So I guess I give "free hugs" all the time. :) I have not started the 29 day challenge yet. But I can't wait to start.

Oh boy, what a day. This giving challenge has given me, not only an awareness of what I give through the day, or how much other people give, but how much giving brings you into the present. How it forces you to LIVE every day, rather than only being…
