What is the plan for my birthday?

This  year to celebrate my birthday I wanted to give something back.  I have a lot of things to be thankful for and I wanted to share that with others. 

HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT
Recently, I was sitting at work, hungry, because I neglected to have a healthy breakfast (common for me) and mentioned it to a couple of co-workers.  To my surprise, one of them offered me a breakfast that they had in the refrigerator (they know who they are....thank you, thoughtful Co-worker).  The co-worker didn't need to give me their food, but they made my morning when they did.  I don't know why the act was so surprising to me, but it made me think that maybe there aren't enough random acts of kindness anymore.  We go about our lives making sure that we have what we need and never consider others.  The thought made me look at my own actions, when have I done something kind for someone?  Why don't we do this more often?  Consider these questions.....

Ok, a few days later I search the web...for random acts of kindness...obviously I was still thinking about this.  I found a lot of posts and blogs (like this one http://www.justabunchofmomsense.com/2011/10/my-random-act-of-kindness-x37-birthday.html, and this one http://32randomactsofkindness.blogspot.com/, and this one http://mixmingleglow.com/blog/?p=1358 and many, many more) about celebrating your birthday with acts of kindness.  And luck have it, my birthday was only a copule of weeks away....so why not?

WHAT I AM DOING
I decided to celebrate my birthday right this year!  So, the plan went into action.   I will be completing my acts of kindness on my birthday, April 18th (I already have something important to do in the afternoon, but I am guessing I will have plenty of time to be kind to others).  After I have done them all, I will post them here, in the hope that I can inspire others to celebrate the same way.  

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
I ask you, my friends, to help me celebrate my birthday on April 18th by doing something kind for just one person on that day, and tell me about it as my present.  Put an extra quarter in a parking meter, pay someones toll, or even say thank you to a person who held the door open for you.  There are so many things we can do.......

For now, I would like some suggestions for what I can do on the 18th.  Do you have a recommendation for an act?  I would love your feedback. 

Did you do a random act of kindness to celebrate my birthday with me?

If you completed an random act of kindness to celebreate my birthday with me, thank you for the birthday present!  I really appreciate you making my day special and making the world just a little better for someone.  Please tell me about your act....

Did you get one of my cards today?

If you found this site by following the web address on one of my cards, chances are, you were a recipient of an act of kindness.  I hope that it made your day just a little brighter.  Feel free to comment and/or share other experiences.
