MISSION: Cold Weather Wonders

I know I’m not alone in my cold-weather aversion.  I love Pittsburgh too much, though, to move to a warmer climate!  Luckily, my heart gets warmed by the sweet and simple acts of kindness that my Affiliated Agents are performing all over the country.  They warm me for sure!

I love doing things to brighten peoples day so I adore the Secret Agent L idea. I have been so excited to do something ever since I first email in August but could never seem to come up with the perfect idea. What to buy, where to drop it . . . it was too much – but I was just thinking too hard about it As soon as I stopped thinking so much everything just fell together perfectly!

CO has had a really tame winter but yesterday it was snowy and COLD! I went to WalMart to pick up some wintry stuff and it was all 50% off – my lucky day! I picked up stuff for 2 missions:

Mission 1 – windshield washer fluid, gloves, winter headband

Mission 2 – gloves and a hat (x2) using the one for you one to give away idea that was on your page from another recent mission

Dropped package for mission 1 in front of the building where I go to the chiropractor. There are lots of businesses in that building so I figured there would be plenty of people going in an out so someone would find it. However, I was a little worried about finding a chance to drop it when no one was around but the parking lot was empty when I was ready for the drop then right after I got back into my car someone pulled into the parking lot – perfect timing! I attached a note that read:

“Everyone needs a pair of gloves
On this chilly February day
Whether snow is one of your loves
Or if you can hardly wait til May”

Hope this random act of kindness brightens your day and warms your heart as well as your hands.

Put gift 2 in one of the bench shelters at the park and ride. Figured there would be plenty of people coming through here in a few hours after work with a cold drive ahead of them. I put this gift in a small reusable shopping bag I had laying around the house with the following note:

“On this chilly day, a random act of kindness has come your way! Let’s usher in this month of love with a little gift for you and a second to give away. Brighten a friend or a stranger’s day.”

After the second mission I was at the grocery and found super cute valentine’s day mugs with a little stuffed bear inside for $1.20! Mission 3 already coming together! I wrote a simple note that just says “This random act of kindness brought to you by Affiliated Agent E”. I am going to pick up a small bag of coffee to put in the mug as well.

I have to say I am addicted now and am definitely going to be on the lookout for more great deals to use to future missions! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
