Today my act of kindness was to care for a daughter who doesn't feel good. I also got a couple things my missionary needs so I can send them to her.

#bethelight – Day 184
I am at an age where a person starts to make a bucket list. Today it occurred to me that maybe I shouldn't make a bucket list. Maybe I should make "life list." I started a list today... things to really live! It's a great self-discovery exercise.
#bethelight – Day 183
Sometimes I am not successful in this kindness campaign. Today I said something before I really thought it through to a dear friend that was a hurtful thing to say. I can't claim that I had acts of kindness today, even if I said I was sorry for what came out of my mouth. Saying… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 183
Continuing My Quest For Better Health
I am really getting into this intermittent fasting thing. I am not seeing physical changes, but I am feeling better and I am sleeping much better! I read two books on fasting for better health. One was called The Scientific Approach to Intermittent Fasting by Dr. Micheal VanDerschelden. The other book was Fasting and Eating… Continue reading Continuing My Quest For Better Health
In the Footsteps of the Minister
Today in church we talked about ministering to others. Personally, I do not feel like there has been a change... well maybe in vocabulary and that is it. I believe that God has always ask us to be ministers. The dictionary says that to "minister" means to attend to the needs of others. Christ has… Continue reading In the Footsteps of the Minister
#bethelight – Day 182
Most of the time my efforts at kindness on the Sabbath revolve around family and church worship. It is where I spend my day on the Sabbath.

Dancing Through Life and Into May
What a week! John and I worked in the garden last Saturday. We got the strawberry box ready to go and a boxed cleaned, rototiller, and planted lettuce, swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. We have to more boxes to go. I really wanted to work on them today but... that didn't happen. It will… Continue reading Dancing Through Life and Into May
Humble Confidence
I have been thinking a lot about this quote lately. I think it has become my motto in the past month because I am seeing so many people who feel they are "too good" to take a small part, to learn something more, or to need real rehearsal. Dame Judi Dench is one of the… Continue reading Humble Confidence
#bethelight – Day 179
Today I decided that my oldest kid needed some mom TLC... so for my act of kindness today I took her lunch, brought "fancy" pizza for dinner, and fought with her lawn mower for 1.5 hours in a feeble attempt to mower her yard. Sadly, I am not sure I made a difference. Between the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 179
