Call a friend or family member just to say and hi and see how they are doing. Go the extra mile and make them some cookies!
Go see an elderly person and just sit and talk, ask them questions about their childhood, it will make their day!
GREAT ideas Rachael! I especially love the idea of sitting and asking an elderly person about their childhood, what a great experience for everybody!
These are so simple! I love them 🙂
When xmas shopping and you see ‘that parent’ parent, struggling w/filling her babies wishlists; ‘accidentally’ drop a $5 bill and casually say ‘excuse me, i think you dropped this’. Most will hesitate taking it…I then say ‘i guess ill take it to customer service desk if it’s not yours’
A kind soul did this for me 20+ years ago and I have not forgotten.some years a 5$ was all I could spare, give what you can – it matters. ..
