Jill Marie wrote: Wonderful stories! As I am in a public store or gas station or fast food place, I always try to leave my pennies in the penny thing for someone else or give that little bit of change back to the person who checked me out and say "here's a little tip for you! YOU do a great job or thanks for YOUR smile!" They are always taken back by the gesture! Keep up the positive life style!

It was a cold winter's morning, and seeing an elderly lady who had no gloves, she unhesitatingly took off her own gloves and offered them to the grateful lady. Recently I asked my friend if she remembered this incident and she casually told me that she has given gloves, in the same way, to several people who seemed to need them more than she did.
Sherry wrote: I wear a very distinct oil that smells like spring and always gets me compliments. I bought a large quantity of it and filled a bunch of small bottles with roll-on applicators. I always have one with me in my purse.You can imagine how surprised and delighted people are when they tell me how nice I smell, I whip out my bottle and give it to them. It's especially fun when they are total strangers! I just tell them to pay it forward!
Lynette wrote: Hi. Love the pen story. My gift is not free. It costs under $20 for 250 3x4inch calendars at Walter Drake. They are stick on full year calendars that you can imprint. I have them print on the top of the calendar "Feed a hungry child today." The next line. "www.hungersite.com" I give away 250 of these a year and I let the person know if they go to this site, with one click and not costing them a penny, a hungry child will be fed somewhere in the world. The advertisers on the site pay for it. And the person also has a handy little calendar for the year! Its a fun, inexpensive gift to give people. Makes me feel good each time I do it.
Kelly wrote: This is a very small thing, but it's fun. I teach at the college level, and I know that college students are often broke. Whenever I buy something from one of the vending machines on campus, I leave the change from my purchase in the change tray. That way, some student whose quarter gets swallowed by accident or who might only have expected a nickel in change gets his or her change plus mine. :-)
