My friend Jennifer emailed and told me about something really cute her son is doing. It is called Ding, Dong, Ditch. Ring a neighbors door bell, leave a bag of candy and kind words and run like crazy. So cute. I love this idea.My friend Mary reminded me of the the book and movie Pay It Forward. Read it or rent it. You won't be sorry.
Julie shared a great book on her blog called Have You Filled a Bucket Today. Imagine that everyone you encounter has an invisible bucket they carry around. When you do something kind for them you add to their bucket. If you are rude to them you are a bucket dipper. What a great way to teach kids that their actions affect others. A good reminder for us big folks also.
So go forth and fill buckets my friends. Holler back at me if you do and I will share your ideas next week.

Loved Pay It Forward and love the idea of filling other people's buckets. It reminds me of a quote I try to remember, "Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
