32) Personally thanked everyone who wished me well on facebook for my b-day. It was a great way to share some memories and rekindle some long lost friendships (if even for a moment). If I happened to miss you it is because I swear all my messages don't show up in this stupid timeline template.
33) Donated to a charity at the DMV. Okay so I know my last act didn't seem very profound but it was actually much harder than I thought to come up with 33 act of kindness. I thank all of you who have been following this blog. Your support is an act of kindness in itself.

ReplyDeletewhat about bringing up your neighbor's trash can, I thought of that as I picked up my neightbors from the middle of the street (out trash guys are jerks and just through them). I tried to call you right back but you were already in Marcs. You're making want to restart my blog. So mad I accidently deleted it . . . SOOO Much work!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were starting your own blog (Gina wants to too so maybe I can count it as an act of kindness that I might have, kind of, sort of inspired two people to start their own blogs?!) Your trash idea was great. I thought of the same thing last night. And tonight is trash night hooray! I should bring the whole neighborhood's trash up and leave ours for Joe just to see what he would say! (Kidding!) If you decide it is too much work to start your own you can be a guest on my blog (per +gmspeelman's suggestion). If you put a plus in front of someone's name it is supposed to tag them I think. I'm going to try.
