Remembering the kindness of John McCain

It is heartwarming to read the many kind messages about Senator John McCain who passed away yesterday.  His daughter said some wonderful things about the father who "taught me how to live." Meghan McCain also said now that her dad is gone, she's motivated more than ever to spend her lifetime living up to "his example, his expectations, and his love."  Words I see from so many to describe him are kind and honorable.  What a great way to be remembered!

The Special Ends

The special week of kindness ends today.  No, that doesn't mean we should stop being nice to each other.  We need to keep the kindness with us always!  How did you do this week though?  By thinking about it, do you think you became a little kinder?  Perhaps we should try this again from time to time.

closer to the end

As we get closer to the end of our self-proclaimed special week of kindness, how has it been?  Do you think this has helped you to be a bit kinder?  Any stories you want to share?  Let us finish this week with a bang! 

Five

Today is day five in our week of special kindness.  (How are you doing with that?  I hope this is encouraging some to be more kind)!  Oh and it is also just five days until my birthday.  Woo hoo!  That just made me think of another way to show kindness - treat folks they way you would on their birthday, but treat them that way every day!

Special Number Four

Trying to do some extra special things this week.  I hope you're joining me.  It's our fourth day and I have decided to spend some extra time on social media posting encouraging messages and reading ones from other folks.  I'll check out Instagram, facebook and twitter right now and then throughout the day, and hopefully my kind words will brighten someone's day!

The Third

This week we are trying to put some extra effort on being kind people.  Perhaps it already comes naturally for you.  Wonderful!  I still need to work on it myself.  I'm not perfect.  This is the third day of this special week and today I want to make sure that everyone I encounter, sees me smiling.  I'm not talking about a sick demented expression that looks like I am up to no good, but a pleasant, happy face.

2nd Day Special Week

Kindness is an always thing.  It's not just reserved for special occasions.  Therefore doing a "special week" might seem odd.  I goal though is always to make me a kinder person, and hopefully some of you as well.  So, each day this week, let's try a little harder.  I think I'll stop and get some flowers at the grocery store and then hand one to everyone I meet this morning.
