I thought I would end my last RAK day by helping the person who inspired this project. I know it's a small task, but I unlocked and opened the classroom door for my daughter's teacher. A small task can be something big for the person receiving the RAK. I hope you'll go out and complete RAKs where ever you go. Whether they're big Random Acts of Kindness or small ones, it doesn't matter. The fact is that you're making someone's life easier and brighter by sharing your kindness. And who knows, they might even pay their RAK forward to someone else to help make the world a brighter place. Until the next project, have a wonderful day!

Day 40 - RAKS gone bad
I didn't post these for a reason, but since I only have 2 people reading my blog..make that 3, I say why not.
#3 - Bronze medal RAK gone bad:
Buying a BBQ lunch for a woman and her baby asking for money in the Albertson's parking lot. By the time I got there with lunch, she was already gone and we had already eaten. Believe it or not, I couldn't off load the lunch on anyone, not even an Albertson's employee. Verdict: Gained 2 extra pounds from overeating. BBQ gets two thumbs up.
#2 - Silver medal RAK gone bad:
I was having an extremely good day. I was stress free, I had lost half a pound after exercising for a whole week and I was sooo happy. I bought a chocolate chip frappucino at Starbucks only to see a homeless guy standing in the corner asking for money. I had used up my last couple of dollars on the frappucino, so I gave him the chocolate chip frappucino instead. I hadn't taken a sip from it, the top half of the straw was still covered and he gladly took it when I offered it to him. Verdict: I'm not sure he was able to collect any more money after drinking the frappucino. What would you do? Would you give money to a homeless man drinking a Starbucks drink? Hmmmmm.
# 1 - Gold medal RAK gone bad:
Holding the door open at a restaurant for a family and closing the door on their slow walking toddler. Ugh. Verdict: Hall of shame. I don't think that family goes to our school, yet. I may have to encourage my youngest to skip a few grades.
