We're getting into the season of giving (thanks and gifts), and sometimes we're looking to do a little more than normal. If we can all do a little something extra for someone else, it sure would make this place a lot brighter! And we're not talking about giving away your Jaguar (like in the movie "Pay It Forward"), but just a small token of appreciation or a hand out to a stranger may make their season (and yours) a lot warmer.

Here are a few of our favorite suggestions from the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation:

1. Donate used booksto a library.

2. Return Shopping Cartsfrom the parking lot.

3. Visit an Animal Shelter.

4. Adopt a Soldier.

5. Collect canned food for a Food Bank.

6. Cook a meal for someone.

7. Thank your Mail carrier.

8. Bring your coworkers a Speacial Treat.

9. Invite someone over for the holidays.

I would love to know.. Have you witnessed awesome acts of kindness?
