Do an odd job for an elderly person

Haven't heard of the 30 Days of Kindness?  Click here to find out more.  Just starting?  That's okay!  Feel free to start this challenge right in the middle.  You can make up the days you missed through November, if you like.

Do an odd job for an elderly person.  I know quite a few seniors who have a difficult time doing things that we may find simple, such as taking the groceries from their car to their pantry, vacuuming their living room, or mowing their lawn.  I'm sure you can think of an elderly person who could use your help with an odd job or two today.

It's your challenge to make an old person's day by helping them out.  What a kind gesture.  You're giving someone the dignity of not having to ask for assistance.  You're also showing respect by offering to help out an older person.

You can perform an odd job for your grandparents, a neighbor, or for some people at a nursing home.  If you see an old lady crossing the street, go ahead and help her across.  It's up to you!

I want to hear your stories!  Leave me a comment and share what you did during today's challenge.  If you have a picture or two, feel free to send them to me.  If you're blogging about today, send me the link and I'll feature it on this blog.

Stay tuned until later today to see what my friends and I did for today's act of kindness.

TOMORROW: Give food to a homeless person!
