30 Random Acts of Kindness

As you may remember last year, I attempted to complete 29 Random Act of Kindness.  I got close I think I ended up completing 23 acts.  So this year I'm going big or going broke, and attempting 30 Random Acts of Kindness (30 because I'm turning thirty at the end of December).  Why random acts of kindness, well why not, as the saying goes: no one has gone broke from giving.  And I am blessed beyond measure, so it's just a little something I can do to give back, and doing it during the holidays just makes it more fun.  It's also one of the items on my 30 by Thirty bucket list.
