Today I volunteered at Johnson's Backyard Garden. I helped them bag arugula, salad greens, and Dragon Tongue Beans. Then we helped them pack the boxes of vegetables that they sell to people around town. It was a lot of fun. I plan on doing that many more times.

Ok, so I know it's been awhile. But I wanted to share this small act of kindness I did on Mother's Day. I work in retail and a lady that I was ringing up had her younger boy with her. He was acting out sooo much (screaming and running out of the store) and she was all by herself. She said that her husband got sick that day and so she had to go to the store by herself (on Mother's Day). When I finished ringing her up I simply said "Happy Mother's Day" and she got the biggest smile on her face and said thank you very much. She deserved it.

Here are a few random acts of kindness suggestions: This is by no means a complete list
