today, tomorrow, and every day

Always be kind.  Not just sometimes, but today, tomorrow, and every day!

what about today

It's Thursday 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.

Today is National Chocolate Macaroon Day! Yum! Let's be kind to ourselves and to each other and kindly pass that place of chocolate macaroons!

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.

say something nice

Today is National Say Something Nice Day, a special opportunity to make today extra pleasant for everyone by saying nice things all day long.  What a wonderful act of kindness and a perfect way to begin the month!

Smile

Earlier in the month we had World Laughter Day. Well, today is National Smile Day. Smiles are powerful! I'm told that smiling has a direct link to our brain and can help to reduce stress.  A friendly smile is always a kind act.  Let's do a lot of smiling today!

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!
