Day 16: Do an odd job for the elderly

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 old.jpgsimple, 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!

Breaking the rules a little :)

Today we broke the rules a little.  Ali and I were both busy with jobs, cleaning, and homework, so we stretched the rules and had Friendsa friend over instead.  We had dinner together.  It was delicious.  Hamburgers, chips, ice cream, and pumpkin bread.  My parents had some guests over as well and we spent much of the evening talking and laughing together.  I love having fellowship with other people and spending time with them.  I had a great time with my friend.  After dinner, we rented a movie and watched it together.  I know my friend felt special hanging out with me, and I definitely felt special hanging out with her!

Ali: When I spent time with my friend over dinner and a movie, we had tons of fun, and it makes me so happy because we can bond, all three of us and just, um, grow closer.  It's just so nice because throughout our days, we don't have much time to just sit down and talk or spend time with each other. 

What did you do with a friend today?
