Big weekend

This is a big weekend! Oh my! Tomorrow is Independence Day, but this one is extra special.  Our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  Let us celebrate of course but let us also work to keep the values that we hold dear.  Let us respect and be kind to one another.  Have a great weekend!

Stay healthy

Take care of yourself.  Stay healthy and fit.  When you’re healthy and energetic, it is so much easier to be kind.

what about today

It's Wednesday morning and as my fingers hit the keyboard, I ask myself what I am going to write here today.  Is there a new message?  Can I say something I have never said before?  This really isn't about new ideas or reinventing the wheel.  The message of this blog has always been very simple:  Be kind.  What more can I say.  Kindness matters.

that's it for June

Well friends, that's it for June.  I hope it has been a good month for you.  I hope it has been a kind month.  Now on to July and hopefully even more kindness.

The list goes on

When drivers try to merge into your lane, let them in with a wave and a smile. Tell your boss that you think he/she does a good job. Give another driver your parking spot. Give your full attention to someone in need and simply listen. Stop by a nursing home and visit a resident with no family nearby. Have a clean-up party in the park. Bring coworkers a special treat. Give the gift of your smile. Deliver fresh-baked cookies to city workers. Share your smile generously. Take an acquaintance to dinner. Sponsor people in fundraising walk-a-thons.

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!

too late

I have probably shared this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson before, but it is an important one.  He said "You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late."
