"I would read later that those who perform 5 acts of giving over 6 weeks are happier than those who don't, that when you give, you get reduced stress hormone levels, lowered blood pressure, and increased endorphins, and acts of kindness reduce anxiety and strengthen the immune system. Five random acts of kindness in a week can increase happiness for up to 3 months later,"

Sometimes Ann is so poetic, I feel like I'm walking through sludge; but oh the treasures if I persevere.

Leaving flowers at the doors of nursing home residents
Leaving a box of cookies on the hood of a police car
Pay for coffee for several folks in line behind you
Scattering one dollar bills around a dollar store . . . And watching kids find them
Gifting the tennis court with tennis balls
Tuck parking fees into envelopes and slide them under windshields
