PIF, week of 11/08/2010

OK, so we've done a PIF where we sent out a note or card to someone. We've done a PIF where we've donated something to someone who needs it.

This week, let's donate some TIME. Take some time out of your day or week and DO SOMETHING kind, special, and/or random. Big, little, big chunk of time, a few seconds......whatever works.

It only takes 5 extra seconds to hold the door for the person coming behind you. It only takes a little bit of extra effort to carry the 2 grocery bags for the elderly woman next to you in line. SMILE at someone on the street. Volunteer at the food shelter or animal shelter (some of you suggested that last week). Help out at your child's school or volunteer for an upcoming community event. Run an errand for your Mom or Dad.

I'll let you know what I end up doing...I'm working on a few things in my head already.

Gayle, great ideas! I got on this thread a little late this week. These are things we need to be doing all the time! I'll post back with what I've done.

The other day I was going into JCPenney's and held the door for a couple ladies, and there was another lady coming from the parking lot and I kept the door open for her also, and as she went thru the door she said, "Seriously????" and then laughed... So I guess I can count that one for this week's project!

Hey everyone, we need more participation here! It's fun and very satisfying.

Hey, Denise. It really IS funny when you do something nice for someone and it's such a SIMPLE thing, yet it makes a BIG impression. Just today at school, I was feeling kind of grumpy and made myself carry a smile. I was walking down the hall and smiled at one of our teachers and she stopped and said, "what?" as if I knew an inside joke that she didn't. lol She just kind of gave me a look when I said, "oh, nothing, I'm just in a good mood."
