Yesterday I served others... even though I was tired.  Today I will look for more people to serve. Everyday I volunteer at my local high school.  Why do I volunteer?  Because I appreciate the hardworking teachers who I work with.  There is too much to do for just one person. Today is World Teacher Day.… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 328 and 329

Still working on finding small acts of kindness I can do each day to make the world a brighter place.  I discovered that today, October 3 is World Smile Day.  That is something I can do all day no matter how busy I am.  Just think of all the people I meet each day!  A… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 326 and 327

I was thinking about this on my way home today.  It is an act of kindness to turn off your car if you are going to idle for more than a minute... unless you are at a stop light.  It will help save money, lessens the pollutants in the air, and improves the fuel economy… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 325

The past few days I have worked at being nice.  The trouble is, nothing I've done is really notable.  I serve people at the school.  I serve people in my family.  I serve people at church.  Yet... I've gotten into a routine and have not succeeded in breaking free of my regular day stuff.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324

Today I pulled up to the school and someone was parked in my parking space.  It wouldn't be such a big deal, except the school assigned parking spaces to everyone.  If I went ahead and parked in someone else's spot, then they would need to find somewhere to park.  So... I parked by the shop. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 319

Boy!  The days do get away from me.  I don't want you to think I have abandoned my kindness campaign.  I have not.  Each day I look for someone to help, to be a listening ear, to give a hug, to do a small and simple thing that can make someone else's life better.  That… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 316, 317, and 318

My days may be busy, but you can never be too busy to be kind. I was a sub for my friend on Thursday and Friday.  He had a scheduled trip to see some plays with family and friends so I covered his classes and managed rehearsals on my own.  It's a lot harder to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 313, 314, and 315

I read this quote today... "Attitudes are contagious.  Make yours worth catching." - David Mezzapelle Today I worked on having a positive contagious attitude.  I used as my inspiration my best friend, Pollyanna herself, Jo.  I know life gets her down on occasion, but she doesn't stay strong for herself.  She makes an effort to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 312

I was thinking today... the act of kindness I could spread today is to be accepting.  No matter a person's race, age, culture, or whatever, accept them for who they are - a child of God.  Today I embraced the beauty of humanity and the differences that bring variety to the world.  I believe that… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 310

I am so tired. Yesterday I worked from sun up to well after sun down.  I needed to work on my set at the high school, and all of my family was gone except Lilli who needed to go to work.  My garden has done well this year, especially remarkable since I haven't been able… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 308-309
