Random Acts of Kindness

Join me in February for the Pay It Forward Challenge with Random Acts of Kindness.

Here's how it works...
Each day during the rest of February I will post an idea on my blog with a random act of kindness (of course you may have your own ideas) starting today February 14, 2019.
At the bottom of Ever Ready blog is a comment box for you to post your idea or comment on Facebook on some unexpected thing that happened along the way to you. I look forward to reading your comments. I will also be commenting on my own random act of kindness journey. Look for this icon (pay it forward) each day at end of my blog

Perhaps these random acts of kindness may even become some kind of life long habit. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Being from the Midwest and it's only February I just can't get over all these fruit trees here that are brimming with lemons and grapefruits just begging to be picked. One afternoon on my walk I spied this pail on the sidewalk with a sign.
