What kind of random act can you perform!
This is not necessarily what we had in mind when we recommend you help your neighbor out by performing an act of kindness.
- cut their lawn
- bring in their garbage cans after they have been emptied
- help them lay turf
- offer to haul away their excess yard waste if you are going to the dump anyways.
- offer to prune their trees
- offer to watch their home if they are going on vacation
- look after a pet or animal
- take them a meal or some pastry
- lend a hand on any projects
I know what you are thinking … this takes some sweat and possibly sacrificing time away from your own projects or family but many hands do make light work and when you need help it just might be your neighbor that steps up to reciprocate or return the favor.

They also handed her a card that read “Re-Fueling Our Community” and was signed “The Gas Men.”
With fuel prices where they are today what a great sentiment or random act of kindness these Men performed.

Metal-detector hobbyist found trinket 12 years ago, then went sleuthing

LUDINGTON, Mich. - A woman who lost her class ring in Lake Michigan in 1954 has it back, thanks to a metal-detector hobbyist.
Robert Savage told the Ludington Daily News for a story Saturday that he found the ring about 12 years ago but only recently began looking for its owner.
He did a bit of detective work by looking at the initials and the year on the ring. He found a Ludington High yearbook for 1955 and found that Jan Pedersen was the only person in the class with the right initials.
Now Jan Zacharda, she says she had forgotten about the ring she lost at Ludington State Park. And she’s even more puzzled that Savage found it in a lake about a dozen miles away.
Zacharda now wears the ring on her index finger, where it fits better.
This is what Kindness in Motion is all about, going out of your way make someone else’s day. Kindness - Pass it On!
