Kindnesses 143, 144 and 145

I have decided there is a hidden season in spring when everyone's coming down from spring fever and has the grouchies. I have also decided I'm not going to let anyone bring me down, no matter what they do or say to try. So in the spirit of facing adversity, I have performed three super kindnesses in the past three days. I wanted to change things up a bit to keep myself motivated, so I made sure I put in extra effort.

143: Yes, I bought someone coffee again. This was different though, because I bought it for a group of three. They seemed to appreciate it, because they talked among themselves of how cool it was to get free coffee, but only one remembered in hindsight to thank me. That was after he was sitting down with his coffee and I was leaving the store, but maybe it's improvement.....

144: I helped my neighbour to do some lawn work. She maintains her friend's lawn, who happens to be another neighbour of mine, and it's a very big lawn. I took the boys over with rakes and we spent about 40 minutes helping her tidy up leaves, branches and garbage that people leave everywhere.

145:I brought a friends' cat home from the shelter for her, because she doesn't have a car. I also took some business cards from another friend, to promote her business. And I did all my husband's regular chores while he was out so he could have a break from his daily cleaning. Instead of one big thing, I did a whole bunch of little things.
