Random Acts Of Kindness Adventure 2015 Week 4



Well, here we are at the end of our RAK month!
Thank you to everyone that participated!
I hope you had as much fun as I did!



At the beginning of the week I made up a stack of these cards.




I attached a Hershey's Hug to each one with double sided tape.




And since the weather is so awful with freezing rain and snow,
I slipped each into a plastic sandwich bag.  I put the stack into my
purse and everywhere I went this week, I slipped on under the
 windshield wiper of the car parked next to mine.



This was one of the ideas I shared on our inspiration post last month
and I thought it was such a simple, fun thing to do!
It took just a few minutes of planning but I got to do an RAK for 
quite a few people instead of just one big one.

If you posted about an RAK you did this week, please
link up below and thanks so much for participating!
The link will be open until Saturday, 5:00 PM EST.
And please visit the others who joined in!

    3. Hey...you might need to redo your link...it didn't work for me. You can delete it and do it over. I think maybe you used the url to your blog instead of the specific post and the linky didn't accept it.

    4. You may have to delete... I tried to no avail. But thanks for letting me know... I'll re-link in a few.

  4. Lovely RAK, Betsy ~ you hit a lot of people that day with your kindness and I can just imagine their surprise when they discovered their little treat with those loving words. I bet they were lifted and it made their day and they are bound to be kind to others after that . . . . :)

  7. Oh, I loved that one. It inspires me to keep going! I think the anonymity of it makes it even better. Trying to decide whether to post mine tonight or in the morning.

    1. Yes, I like the anonymity and doing it to complete strangers. Maybe it's the sneaky part that makes it so fun. haha. The link is open until Saturday, so no rush!

    3. I still like it's glow
      I'm the only one, though.
      Soon it will be hot
      and we'll all sweat a lot
      and complain about the heat
      and I'll remind you that winter is neat!

  10. Just a note... when I try to view Don's RAK from the link here, I get a message that says, "Your current account does not have access to this page." And yet I was able to visit his last week. Strange. Anyway, I'm sure he had a lovely RAK... whatever it was!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh - just noticed your messages with him above... so maybe I will see it later. And I also meant to say how brave you were taking the boys by yourself today - hope it all worked out! Did you have extra coffee? :-)

    2. Good - I'm glad.
      I would like to try your RAK too, sometime. Such a great idea and you can do so many! The only thing is that in the city people can be quite suspicious of anonymous food gifts - in case it's been tampered with and, unfortunately, some crazy things have happened. But I think I could do it here in my condo building and hopefully people would feel safe to try. I do like the anonymity of it. Perhaps something else along those lines will occur to me.

    3. Hopefully since these candies are still wrapped, my recipients won't be suspicious....

    Keep in touch
    Have a nice Friday

  16. What a wonderful surprise for the recipients! I know I would be smiling and encouraged to find a note like that underneath my windshield wiper.
    I do try to smile while out and about. Smiles are like hugs from strangers, dontcha think?

    1. I do think that, and smile and say hello to everyone. Most smile back...a few look at me like I'm crazy. ha.

  17. Boy am I running behind this week. I love that you took an idea and went with it. How fun to find that little word of encouragement and a Kiss. I don't think I want to wait till next time to do this. I just got mine posted. Busy week as we have to be re-certified each year to make sure we qualify for the Gov. Tax Credit Senior Housing here at Villa Ramona. Lots of paper work to gather. Our appointment is this afternoon.

  20. I wonder how many people actually ate the chocolate. We live in such suspicious times, I am sure there are some who would throw it out for fear it was tainted :)(or perhaps I am the only one who thinks like that..lol). A lovely act of kindness none the less.

    ReplyDelete
  21. That's a great idea!!! So simple but surely put a smile on people's faces. :)

  22. My RAK for Week 4 was just a wee one. My post person is often very thoughtful and tries to leave my parcels outside my door instead of me having to schlep to the post office for them. So I left a little thank you and a treat in my mailbox for him/her.
    I think the other thing that our RAKs bring to mind is how often people do things for me. Offering a seat, paying a compliment, letting me go before them in a queue... those sorts of things. I so appreciate it and always make sure they know I'm grateful. It's all about give and take, isn't it?
    Thank you so much for hosting the RAK theme for the past month, Betsy. Even though I know we all try to do acts of kindness when we can... it certainly helps to have a reminder and to see the other great things that people come up with. And what I’ve done is put a little RAK reminder in my calendar on the 15th of each month just to spur me on to do something kind for someone. Thanks again! xx
