lists

In the past I have shared lists here of random acts of kindness.  Perhaps they have been helpful and given you ideas.  Being kind isn't about following directions and grabbing items from a list.  Being kind is a way of life, an everyday action.  I do like suggestions.  I'm always trying to think up more ways to be kind. The lists though aren't really that important, except for encouragement.  The important thing is the act.

I've got your back

It's during the worst times of your life that you'll get to see the true colors of the people who say they care about you. If you say to someone "I've got your back," mean it!

predicting the future

If I could predict the future, I would be so rich!  When will fighting and wars stop?  When will our economy improve? When will racism and hatred end? When will we be more kind? Some questions are more difficult than others to answer. Of course, there are some things about our future that we very easily CAN change. We can be more kind, for example. We each have that power.

a new week

We begin a brand-new week with the celebration of Flag Day, and also with another day of being kind to one another.  May this week ahead be a wonderful one for us all!

Thirteen

Today is the thirteenth of June.  Some people think of the number 13 as unlucky.  They are wrong.  We make our own luck, and we can make every day a good day.  Kindness helps.  Be kind and be happy.

Let's do it!

Our world can always do with a little bit more kindness. Perhaps that kindness should begin with me and you.  Let's do it!

simple birthday kindness

A few years ago, a friend of mine wrote these words on his Facebook page:  "I have a request for everyone I know to do one good deed to a random person for my birthday. Even if it's just a compliment or giving change to a homeless person. It'll make you feel good and it'll make me feel good. Just like pay it forward."  I still think of that simple kindness all the time.  So easy.
