#141 sweetest

Today is Sweetest Day.  A "Hallmark holiday" to be sure, but try to use today to capture the sentiment and do something sweet for someone.

> Show up to babysit your nieces and nephews, without being asked.  Give mom & dad a bonus few hours of freedom.
> Take a puppy to visit a nursing home or one of your dog-loving friends.
> Rake the leaves of your neighbor.
> Make your sweetheart's favorite meal for dinner tonight.
> Carve a pumpkin and leave it on someone's porch.
> Pick up the check for someone having breakfast in a diner.  (Someone actually did this for us last weekend and it was a thrill!)
> Volunteer to wash your mom's car.
> Make a batch of cookies and bring a plate to someone who has helped you out.
> Help a friend sew their child's Halloween costume.
> Show up with a leash and offer to take the neighborhood pooch for walk.

There are hundreds of things you can do today to be sweet to someone.  Pick one and make someone's day.
