There are many different kinds of random acts. They can be big or small. They can cost you nothing or a few dollars. It can be spontaneous or something you planned. You can perform a random act for a family member, friend, neighbor or complete stranger. It is up to you.
1. Put a few quarters in someone else's parking meter.
2. Pay for the person behind you at the toll booth or behind you at a drive thru.
3. Spend time with an elderly neighbor and really listen. This will be you someday.
4. Babysit for a friend - for free.
5. Hug someone - you will both feel better.
6. Donate to something you feel is a worthy cause. It doesn't have to be much. Even $1.00 will help.
Misha Collins, from the tv show Supernatural, has started a wonderful charity for this cause. You can visit the website at this address: http://www.therandomact.org/wordpress/. In September 2010, Misha ran, in his own marathon, for over 50 miles and raised almost $95,000 for Haiti.
It just goes to show anybody can do anything if you set your mind to it. Remember, what goes around comes around. Try to be positive and joyful every day you are on this earth and good things will come to you and ,who knows, maybe someone will do a random act of kindness for you today.

H - Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy
10 ways to be happy
1. Smile. Even if you don't feel like it. It releases a chemical in the brain called serotonin which is known as the "happiness hormone" and will instantly give your mood a lift.
2. Indulge in a piece or two (or five) of dark chocolate. It is heart healthy and will make you feel better.
3. Get enough sleep. You should aim to get at least 7 or 8 hours per night. This will leave you feeling fresh and energized all day.
4. Gratitude is a key aspect of living a happy life. Make a list of all the things you are thankful for and you will see you are happier than you thought.
5. Surround yourself with happy, positive people. People who share your values, goals and dreams and you will see that happiness is contagious.
6. Unplug. Your cellphone, computer, tv and ipods and just take time to relax and meditate or do yoga. Clear the clutter technology brings us. We have all become so dependent on these things and want instant gratification that we forget how to unwind and just take a few moments to just be.
7. Do a random act of kindness for a complete stranger. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate but knowing you helped someone out in some way will put a smile on your face and in your heart all day.
8. Watch your favorite tv show (or guilty pleasure) . My favorite is Supernatural. Watching Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins ALWAYS makes me happy.
9. Learn to let things go. Don't waste another minute on things that are beyond your control. It's hard but you can do it.
10. Love who you are. No matter what shape, size or weight you are. You are special and deserve all the happiness in the world.
