| California poppies from last year |

Since many of us are celebrating Easter (and the end of LENT!!!), I thought it was appropriate to reflect on ways to make the world a better place, one small step at a time...
Seven easy (and free) random acts of kindness
Smile at a stranger (um, be careful that he/she doesn't think you're flirting...unless you are, of course)
Grab an extra shopping cart for someone (it's always fun to see the surprise on someone's face when you save them those extra few steps, especially if they are elderly)
Unload someone's groceries for them (pregnant mom, elderly person, handicapped person)
Share a coupon
Hold a door open
Offer a steadying arm/hand to someone struggling up a step or so
Let someone else go first
***********************
Share with us in the comments the little things you do to brighten a stranger's day...
As always, thanks to Long and Short Reviews for this fun theme...please visit them for a list of everyone who is participating (and check back throughout the day, because more names get added)
