smile

Today is National Smile Day.  Of course we never need an extra reason to smile.  Our smiles light up the world every single day.  Keep smiling my friends.  Be happy.  Show kindness.

One of my favorite times of the year

The end of May is one of my favorite times of the year.  It's not too hot yet.  People are having picnics and fishing and holding ice-cream socials.  There is a holiday, but even without that, this always seems like a gateway to the fun summer months.  Let's celebrate by being extra kind!

Remembering

It is not only kind, but right and just to remember and honor all those people who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  On this Memorial Day, the picnics and the store sales are fine, but first take some time for the purpose for which this holiday was created.  Remember them.

The Trip

Kindness comes in many forms, but all kind acts make love so much more joyful. Once, a couple I know who were aware I really wanted to attend an event, made sure I was indeed there. They sent me on a trip, paying for my flight and my hotel, and wouldn't take no for an answer. There kindness and that trip will always be happy memories for me and are just one more encouragement that we should all show kindness, whenever we can.

Merry Merry Month of May

Remember this old ditty?

While strolling through the park one day

In the merry merry month of May

I was taken by surprise

By a pair of roguish eyes

I was scared but I didn't run away 

 



So what do YOU do in this merry merry month of May?

cherry cobbler

This is National Cherry Cobbler Day. It really is. How come we have so many delicious food days? Oh my! Anyway, a very kind thing is always sharing some of those yummies. I would always love a bit of cherry cobbler.

Happy birthday

It may seem odd that I would say happy birthday this morning (unless of course it is yours), but I do have an unusually high number of friends celebrating this week, especially today.  Of course saying happy birthday is the kind thing to do, even if you are not close.  People like being remembered and what easier way is there?  Don't forget birthdays!  Social media is very helpful at keeping track.
