In this season of giving...

here are eight easy ways to practice random acts of kindness.

* Visit a nursing home and ask who seldom has visitors. Visit with him or her.

* Invite a stranger to step in front of you at the grocery store or a coffee shop.

* Call a friend or family member you haven't spoken with for a long time.

* See how many times you can say “thank you” and “you're welcome” in one day.

* Smile – at everyone.

* Give a genuine compliment to someone who has made you angry in the past.

* Pull up your neighbor's trash cans up to the house or deliver their newspaper to the
front door.

* When seated at a crowded restaurant, invite a stranger to sit at your table and strike up
a conversation.
