Deeds that unintentionally put Karma on my side

Issue 6
  1. I told the cashier at the gas station to keep the change.
  2. I made cookies just to give them all away.
  3. I sang to my dog because it always makes him smile.
  4. I planted flowers for the bees.
  5. I kept the bird feeder full all summer.
  6. I told the lady at the McDonald’s drive-thru that she looks good in yellow.
  7. I was a patron at a little girl’s lemonade stand.
  8. I did more good and less bad.
