Last night, while the rest of the world (or a good chunk of it, at least) was sleeping, I was planning my next act of kindness.
What I decided that I would do is bake cupcakes, and put little signs on them that said different things regarding kindness, with a plea at the bottom for the recipient to show kindness toward someone today. On the back, I reminded them that the cupcakes contained eggs and flour, just in case anyone was allergic.
I set several aside because I planned to put one out for the mailman and since today is trash day, I figured I’d leave two for the trash guys, as well (sure hope there weren’t three guys!). One was for my neighbor across the street, and as for the rest, I decided that I would walk around and give them away (I also ended up leaving 2 for my housemate and his girlfriend, and giving one to a friend who had stopped by earlier, left his phone, and had to return to pick it up). As it turned out, the only person I actually saw was walking, trying to lose weight, so she didn’t want one. I ended up leaving the rest on the hoods of cars in the neighborhood that I knew left early in the morning, and two outside the mini-mart in the neighborhood… I had no idea they weren’t open by six a.m., so I just left two on top of their morning papers. Oh, well, it’s the thought that counts, I guess.
