Hand in Hand kindness

Such a great example of kindness was the telethon last night for hurricane relief.  The Hand in Hand event raised $76,378 so far and donations are still being accepted.  (Text “GIVE” to 80077 to donate $25 or go to https://handinhand2017.com/ to donate online).  THIS is kindness!

When our brothers are in trouble

The aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the approach of Hurricane Irma and the wildfires, and all of the natural disasters, it is heartwarming to see people come together.  Human kindness and compassion should always be a part of who we are.  When our brothers and sisters are in trouble, so are we.  Let's always help of neighbors.

School days

It would be right about this time of year, that I would be going back to school (way back when I was that age).  These days most schools return in late July or early August.  Summer break was fun.  People went on trips.  I was usually at a summer camp, at least for a time when school was out.  The first few days back at school were dreadful, except for a few exceptional years.  I had some very kind teachers whom I will always remember.  They taught us how to interact with others and how to always be nice in everything we do.  Going to school those years was a joy!

It's super, man!

Look, Up in the Sky!  No, it's not Superman.  Yesterday though it was an eclipse, and that was pretty super, man!  I was noticing too how it brought us all together - amazing! We were united.  We were all looking in the same direction.  I didn't hear any arguing at all.  It was really quite wonderful.  The eclipse may have united the country for a few hours, but it also proved that we can be united.  So what else can bring us together?  Kindness.  Really.  I think if we all tried to be more kind, the whole country could really rally around that!

August 11th

What does Friday, August 11th mean to you?  Hey!  That's easy - it's another day to show kindness to one another!  (Oh I never get tired of this).  Also, for anyone keeping score, it's 17 days until my birthday!

lazy day

National Lazy Day?  Really?  I can't believe there would be such an observance, but that's what it says on the calendar!  Seriously.  Now I don't mean to be unkind, but aren't there already enough lazy folks out there?  How about if we turn it around.  Let's do more today, instead of less - especially when looking at of being kind.  Let's all be more kind today than ever!

favorite month

August has always been my favorite month.  Part of that might be because my birthday comes late in August.  Maybe because where I have lived most of my life, it's the loveliest time of the year.  Over the years though I have grown to like pretty much anytime, even grey and dull February.  I suppose my favorite month has become whatever month we are in!
