#bethelight – Day 143

Oops... I looked back and found that I labeled two days Day 141. That would make today Day 143. Today for my act of kindness I made treats with Leneyah and took them with her to her friends and to her mom's visiting teaching people. It was fun. The best part was watching this little… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 143

#bethelight – Day 141

Today I drove and drove. My act of kindness was to drive the speed limit. Some of the plates I drove today, the speed limit is faster than other places I drove today. I have decided that in southern Idaho they make the speed limit 80 mph out of kindness. That is one boring drive.… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 141

#bethelight – Day 141

This morning, as I was cleaning out the fridge for breakfast before our small road trip, I started to think about Jack Johnson's song, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  It is an act of kindness...  sometimes to your pocket book, sometimes to the environment, sometimes to your neighbors.  It is easy.  Turn of the light when you… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 141

#bethelight – Day 140

Today I am noticing all the cool things God has created.  It's a little rainy today, and yet it's a beautiful day.  There aren't any roses too smell, but slowing down to "'smell the roses" is an act of kindness for yourself and for those who are around you!

#bethelight – Day 139

Give away your change.  Today I donated all my change to a fundraiser at school.  Think of all the coins you just have laying around.  You can put them to good use!  They aren't doing any good bouncing around the bottom of your purse.  So dig it all up and donate it!

#bethelight – Day 138

Today I decided to  make the little things count.  Little things like holding the door open or letting someone go before you all count.  We are all so busy.  We are all rushing around through life.  We often don't consider the feelings of others.  A simple little gesture is a good reminder for me to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 138

#bethelight – Day 137

I am feeling a little better today.  That is a plus.  I've been thinking about different takes on acts of kindness.  Today I realized that using my words and choosing words wisely is an act of kindness.  When I was a kid I read... a LOT!  If I wasn't in school, doing homework, or helping… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 137

#bethelight – Day 136

Another day of being a sub.  I may have gone back to busy too fast.  I went back because many of my teacher friends have all caught this nasty bug!  I do have to admit, I don't have the same energy.  It is hard to be patient with kids with attitudes.

#bethelight – day 135

Today I got out and about for the first time since last Tuesday.  I got up out of my bed because my friend needed me.  I still feel gross.  I still go into coughing fits.  However, my friend, a music teacher, caught the nasty bug (maybe even from me) and I went in and worked… Continue reading #bethelight – day 135
