National Give Something Away Day

Today is National Give Something Away Day. Really. I think this is a marvelous idea too! Most of us have the benefit of having more than we need to live our lives. National Give Something Away Day offers a chance to share some of our bounties.  What a kind thing to do too!

Reaching for the stars

As a fellow broadcaster, the great Casey Kasem was always an inspiration to me. It wasn't just his talent though that inspired, it was the many profound things he said, especially his signature saying "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars." It's always good advice to keep reaching for the stars!

Cheer Up The Lonely

Today is National Cheer Up The Lonely Day.  Yup there is actually a day set aside for that!  (Of course I think it would be wonderful to do every single day).  There are lots of ways to do this.  Maybe we could start by calling some folks who live alone, just to say hello.

Kind in the heat

When it's really hot outside, it can be easier to get frustrated and even lose your temper, but a kind smile can help.  It's already gotten hot in my neck-of-the-woods, and it's more important than ever to be kind to each other.  Pop a few bottles of water in the freezer, and bring them with you as you go about your day.  Most folks will be delighted it you give them one of these bottles, with the water still nice and cold!  Oh my!

Happy Thursday!

Another glorious day!  Where I am the sun is already streaming through the windows, after a nice bit of overnight rain.  Happy Thursday everyone!  I know this is going to be a great day.  Be kind to each other!

Quoting Jefferson

Remembering today those very important words of Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  Please note that we are not guaranteed to be happy, but only to pursue it.  Kindness will help us on the way.

This weekend

This weekend is going to be incredible.  You believe me, right?  Think positive.  Let us all set out to be kinder than ever this weekend.  Yeah, that's the ticket!
