We are half way through Random Acts of Kindness for Langley and I am loving what you guys are doing to help other people and spread the word about Langley! Don't forget to send pictures of you doing your random act!
What we did
Saying Congratulations
Our Daycare providers daughter graduated from elementary school this week so B and I decided to make her a card. I wrote the words and coloured some balloons and B coloured and picked out 8 stickers to put on it.
Saying Thank You
I don't often see people waving thanks when someone lets them merge in front of them. I used to see it all the time when I commuted in Toronto but since moving here it is very very rare. I really try to still do it though and this week I did it when a transport truck let me in when I was merging on a very short on ramp.
Being Patient
This week I waited a little bit longer at stop signs and waved people through even though it was my turn.
Free Drinks
We continued to give our Contractors cold drinks every day they were here.
