Challenge Day 30: Go to http://www.pinterest.com/ourfamily07/random-acts-ideas/ and make a list of 12 items to do once a month over the next year.
I love that this challenge won't be completely over on my birthday and will be the gift that keeps on giving.
So I go to the pinterest page. Wow, there are lots of photos of very inspirational ideas. I found some great ideas. Many ideas are things one doesn't really plan in advance. They are truly random - a situation arises and you just spontaneously perform a kind act. I love the woman who saw the harried parents with a new baby and paid for their meal. Many of the pinterest site ideas are photos without explanations. So I sought out some other resources.
I found some other websites too.

Here is a list of 12 things I plan to do over the next year.
Pay someone's tab
Clean up trash in my neighborhood
Make and deliver care packs for the homeless (blanket, toiletries, socks, etc.)
Cook a meal for someone
Thank my mom
Pay someone's parking
Share fresh produce with neighbors
Rub a loved one's back
Praise my boss
Bake something for someone
Be polite on the road
Take/send flowers to someone
I hope to do many more than this list. I hope to be attentive and look for opportunities to help others. There is truly nothing that feels better than helping someone else.
