Random Act of Kindness #52- Replacing

During the beginning of softball season this year we had a scrimmage and I was playing outfield. It was super sunny outside and of course I had forgotten my sunglasses. I asked if anyone had an extra pair and one of my teammates offered me hers. During the scrimmage I had a collision with another teammate and the glasses didn't make it... they broke. I felt awful! We had our end of the year banquet the other day, so I decided to purchase her a new pair of sunglasses! She was surprised to see them, especially because she told me a million times not to worry about it! I don't think she thought that I even remembered breaking them! I hope these new ones last longer than the others did!

Random Act of Kindness #51- Child's dream

During the summer I babysit a little girl in my neighborhood. If you have kept up with this blog, she has previously helped me out with a few random act of kindness. I have babysat her for the past few summers, and each summer it goes exactly how it is expect to. What I mean by that is all we did was play in the sprinklers, swim, watch movies, and go to parks. However, this year I decided to mix it up. I had her create a summer bucket list at the beginning of summer. I told her to pick everything and anything she wants to do, all her "dreams". The list includes 50 things such as; bowing, circus, baseball game, make homemade ice cream, horseback riding, mini golf, and so much more. As we complete them, we cross them off. Summer flies by just as fast as our childhood, so I'm doing everything I can to complete these things on her list in order to make this a summer she won't forget.

Change donation

At Dairy Queen there is a jar for your change and all the donations go to helping sick children. My friend donated all the change she had in her wallet, which was a good couple of dollars. She has a couple relatives with cancer and she knows how hard some days can be for those children. Every penny counts in things like this. It is a real simple way to give back.

Strep Throat

This past week I have been sick with strep throat. My neighbors found out and surprised me with some ice cream. They said "nothing makes you feel better than ice cream!" I'm very lucky to have such thoughtful neighbors!
