31 Days of RAKs: Day One

Let people go in front of me at Costco today.

I gave words of encouragement to some people in class today. They were feeling really nervous about the final exam.
 

Wow, now that I have this on my mind, I noticed so many opportunities today!

• My kids made about a million old-people friends at the pool today.  I held the door twice, and the Dalton was his usual charming self.  That boy could make a rock smile.
• I picked up some straws for MIL when I was at IKEA
• not really random, but I rearranged my schedule to babysit for a friend this afternoon

I told my co-worker that i'd give her an OTTERBOX cover for her i-phone that my DH is no longer using.   She's ecstatic about it as she needs one next week before her Disney trip & now she doesn't need to buy one.

I kept forgetting we were doing this and I know that this challenge will help me make doing RAKs come naturally.   I was able to get one in today thanks to DH.  I was out running and he texted me that a big storm was coming (possible tornados).  So I crossed another running in my path and relayed his information since the storm was coming out of the blue. 

Tomorrow I hope to do better.

My RAK today was making May Day baskets too for my nieces.  My Mom invited me to bring the girls to her house to get a May Day basket from her, so I thought it would be nice to make a couple for my nieces too.  I knew my mom was putting candy in her baskets, so I filled them with mostly non candy items.

I used scrapbooking paper that I had in my stock and filled them with items that I had gotten after Easter on clearance, so it was virtually free.

I drove down & spent the day with my mom in the hospital (as she recovers).  I had brought a bag of snack size candy bars for the car ride & for her but since it was May Day, we made little baskets out of the cups in her room & shared them with the nurses and other patients on the floor.
