Challenge: Day 6

I've been doing some anonymous nice things around my work today.  I may never know if anyone happened upon them or not, since nobody knows it was me that did them, and at the risk of "outing myself", I guess I will report them here. 

I left a gift for someone at work who I know is having a hard time personally.  I added a little note saying that I just wanted to do something to brighten her day (it was a small gift really, some soap, body spray, and lotion) and that I am going through a difficult time as well and I'm thinking of her.  I don't think she'll suspect me.

The other thing I did was leave a couple of drinks in the refrigerator at work with a note that says, "If you are thirsty, drink me." 

I have also been especially funny today, thanks to something nice somebody did for me.  (Thanks, Mary Beth!)  She sent me a link to a funny blog, and I've been laughing all day.  Not like appropriate snickering.... I'm talking about hysterically laughing so much that I'm pretty sure that my coworkers think I'm insane at this point.  But I haven't felt this happy in awhile, so what's a little suspected insanity?   This just reaffirms my belief that you get what you put out there.  Karma, baby. 

The challenge is going well so far, although each day I'm starting to have a little trouble thinking up something nice to do.  Originally, that upset me a little--is it so hard for me to be nice?  But that's not it, really.  I think that I normally do nice things, and my rule was I have to do something I wouldn't normally do, so it's not so easy to come up with those ideas.  Maybe I need to make a list or something.  I'm pretty convinced that the answer to all the world's problems is a well thought-out list.

  1. Knock Knock, MF! :) You are welcome.

    And you wanna do something super nice for a mom one day? Stop one in the grocery who has her kid(s) with her and tell her how you have noticed how great her kids are or how patient she is with them and how impressed you are. Bc that happened to me once and I am telling you - I STILL remember it and it made my whole day that day!! I have paid that forward a few times bc I know how good it feels.
