Watch out as you may be RAOK'ed!
Many people complete this task during December as a countdown to Christmas, but Kindness can be given out anytime of the year.
I have decided to complete this challenge now as it is my Birthday Month and in life it is better to give than to receive. It will also be my 21st Birthday so these last couple of weeks will countdown my childhood days and hopefully my immaturity.
Everyday you are to uncover a 'Kindness' task to complete. The tasks I have chosen are as follows:
1. Leave an appreciative note for the postman
2. Tape money to a children's toy vending machine
3. Donate used books to a library
4. Hold the door open for someone
5. Send some flowers anonymously
6. Let the Manager of a shop know how well an employee is doing
7. Put together a writing kit and give it to a nursing home
8. Put a comment on a blog telling them how great it is
9. Send a card to someone in the Military Overseas
10. Leave your change in a vending machine
11. Leave something in an area where it might be needed (i.e lighter in the smoking area, an umbrella by the door if it's raining)
12. Open the phone book, pick a name and send them somethings (thank you card, flowers etc) anonymously
13. Take flowers to a hospital ward and give them to someone who doesn't receive them or has no visitors
14. Write a thank you mote to a person from your past who has made a difference in your life
15. Send an anonymous scratch card, lottery ticket or small gift to someone you know
16. Donate clothes to goodwill
17. Put change in a Charity tub
18. Send a package/gift to a local primary school class
19. Smile at strangers
20. Put a tip in a street musicians jar

Great idea! Also, leave time in your schedule to do an act of kindness that you DIDN'T plan on doing-something you see you could do for your fellow man.
That's a pretty cool idea. Girl, with all of this "paying it forward" stuff, you should be having tons of good karma flowing your way.
I hope you have time to post updates on how this is going...I would love to hear about the responses you get! I've thought about going to amazon.com and randomly ordering someone something off their wishlist.
Happy Birthday Month!!
