#Midwintersolace #Payitforward

It's my challenge to myself to connect with others, to be kind & supportive. It's the main reason I wanted to start this event.

How has your week been? Any plans for random acts of kindness, both for yourself and others?

bnp I'm not planning any, but sometimes they happen. Hadn't thought of random acts of kindness towards myself. Hmmm . . . 1y
bnp Week has been soso. A friend invited me to a Christmas Eve dinner, so I'm looking forward to that, and to the BBC broadcast of The dark is rising, which starts this week. 1y

IndoorDame Not the typical random act of kindness, but I‘m not great at asking for help and things have really been piling up as I‘ve been recovering from Covid the past few months, so I finally got super overwhelmed and reached out, and a friend spent yesterday cleaning my kitchen and doing some of my laundry. It was nice to see him, and it feels great to have a headstart on the chores! Hopefully now I can actually get caught up over the holiday break. 1y
BarkingMadRead I try and do this on the regular. Paying for someone behind me at Starbucks, letting a couple cars out at intersections, and between thanksgiving and new year‘s I leave snacks and water out for our delivery men 1y
TheBookHippie We thrift Christmas holiday winter Hanukkah new years solstice books make a stack 1-31 wrap them up and find a young mom or very in need family to give them too . Then we give a bag of 4 to each of my readers this year it‘s 60 readers . I leave jam & bread wrapped in a fresh flour sack towel on doorstep in my neighborhood with a card saying happy holiday. 1y
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame yay!!!! I‘m so glad!!!! 1y
IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie it makes me so happy that people still leave food. 🙏❤️ 1y
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I know giving books to your readers each year has to add up, so I sent along a couple last week. It won‘t make a dent towards 60 kids, but hopefully lots of people are helping out 1y
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame Awe thank you so much!!! 1y
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I still believe in jam and bread ♥️ it‘s a hug. 1y
ElizaMarie Oooo So, all year really, I normally pay for the person behind me in a fast-food/coffee line. I don't do fast food often (I just do not really have much access to it). But I try to make it a point to do this at least 2x a month. 1y
AllDebooks @bnp Always include yourself! Sounds like a lovely Christmas eve. I've bookmarked The dark is rising. Thanks for tagging me x 1y
AllDebooks @IndoorDame sorry to hear you're struggling post-covid. I think most folks struggle to ask for help, me included 🤔 So glad you have a lovely friend that came to help x 1y
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead I make it a whole year round thing, paying for groceries if someone's groceries, etc. I always offer drinks/snacks as well to delivery drivers. Hellish time if year for them. Just stocked up on bird food to help all my little feathered friends out. 1y
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I love this, so sweet x 1y
BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks I love that. I‘m an all year round kinda girl as well. I volunteer a lot as well, it‘s good karma 1y
AllDebooks @ElizaMarie that's a lovely thing to do x 1y
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks I too all year volunteer it‘s just how I live. 1y
AllDebooks Talking about random acts of kindness, check out @TheBookHippie original post for connecting over holidays. https://litsy.com/p/eWF6TDBCZnI5 I will also be adding a post at the end of #Midwintersolace about staying connected x 1y
Catsandbooks I leave out drinks and snacks for the delivery people around the holidays and in the summer when it's really hot. I also bake goodies for my elderly neighbor each year. 1y
BookmarkTavern I haven‘t, but I want to be more mindful about acts of kindness. I‘ve been trying to tip more, especially for delivery drivers when the weather is inclement. 1y
AnnR @IndoorDame - I do hope you'll be feeling much better in the weeks to come. 1y
IndoorDame @Ann_Reads thank you 🙏 1y
AnnR My random acts of kindness usually are just that... random. I sometimes let people go ahead of me in the grocery line, etc. During the holidays, I often bake cookies for and visit with some elderly folks who don't like to cook anymore. My routine is not 'back to normal' though especially during the winter months with another increase in flu bugs and Covid infections happening in the U.S. It is wearisome and worrisome. 1y
AllDebooks @Ann_Reads I have a similar routine. I have tended to 'hibernate' since autumn 2019. 1y
AllDebooks @Catsandbooks I really do feel for our delivery drivers. I can't imagine how stressful their job is. It is a lovely thing to do, leaving a box of drinks and snacks to help fuel them thru the day 1y
AllDebooks @ozma.of.oz tbh if you think about it, you probably do more than you realise. Courtesy and politeness are not hard to do and cost nothing. Don't forget to be kind to yourself too x 1y
