#bethelight – Day 185

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.

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

#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.  Actually, the slow down of life that the Sabbath brings is a great act of kindness.  God is really smart to make the Sabbath a day of rest. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 182

#bethelight – Day 180 and 181

Yesterday I was gone all day was not able to blog about my kind act for the day.  However, I did some kind things yesterday... I was "the choir" mom.  I rode the bus.  I brought snacks.  I carried everyone's stuff.  I cheered them on as they competed in the state choir competition. Today I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 180 and 181

#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

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior is an Optimist

One of the greatest "Warrior Women" I know is my friend Jo. She moved away and man, I miss her. I miss our chats and our mutual rants. I miss her wild hair ideas and the "projects" she gets me into. I miss her support of my activities and I miss supporting her in her… Continue reading A Warrior is an Optimist

#bethelight – Day 178

Some days I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day that I often need little reminders to think outside of myself and think of others. I do know that a small gesture of kindness can not only make someone else's day, it makes me feel good too. So why don't… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 178

Today I put up a bird feeder.  Our little bird friends need some kindness.... right? I hope they come and sing for me... LOL.  Sing for their supper!

#bethelight – Day 176

Today I will extend an act of kindness toward myself... I will take a walk.  Taking care of my body is the most important thing I can do for myself... well at least I am learning that.  I have been taking myself for walks for several days now.  I am noticing that I sleep better. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 176
