Penning the Positive

Write a message of positivity on a decorated postcard and send it in to postsecret.com. There, you can also view postcards that others have sent in: Affirmations, love notes, and written acts of kindness truly have the power to lift the human spirit.

Love Notes

    Leave encouraging, inspiring, or funny notes or quotes in a library book or other random places (without littering of defiling public property). A simple note stapled to a bulletin board, taped to a column, or written in chalk on the sidewalk may influence in wonderful ways-you’ll be like a secret agent who brings happiness to others.

The Good Old Days and the Good New Days

Share happy memories. Keep in touch with a friend by sending an old photo to them via snail mail and write a short note about the day it was taken on the back of the photo.

Mindful Memo

    Write a note of gratitude to the people in your everyday life who make a difference- the mailman, a grocery clerk, or the greeter at the mall. Tell your friends about their great service so their businesses can grow. Just by paying attention to those who can so easily go unnoticed (especially if your smartphone is glued to your hand), you can enrich each other's lives a little each day.

Share Your Toys

    Leave small, handmade toys for people to find. The Toy Society spreads love by doing this good deed. Visit thetoysociety.blogspot.com for more information and inspiration. You can post your toy drop on the website and view the drops that others have made. Feel free to share a picture and revel in the thought of bringing a child happiness, especially with the pandemic- it might also be a good idea to leave a note on the toy that lets people know they can take it. For example: “Take me home- I’m Yours!” If you'd like, write that the toy has gone through its two weeks of quarantine and leave a small thing of hand sanitizer with it.

No Foolin'

    I don't know the history of April Fool's Day trickster antics but they always make me cringe. I suggest a "reverse prank" instead, where you do something really nice. Heard through the Random Acts of Kindness network about a good deeder buying lottery tickets, adding a sweet little note, and placing the onto a car door where they could not be missed. Can you imagine if you were the recipient of this delightful act and won the Big Scratch Off for a cool million or so?

    Have fun and bring some joy into this early spring day. It may be April Fool's Day but don't fool yourself! Today is about laughter rather than pulling pranks on others. Tell your coworkers a joke you enjoy; find a way to make someone who looks unhappy put a smile on their face.
