A Week of Thankful Boyacks

This is always a big week around our house.  First, there is my birthday... one year older, but not to sure about wiser.  My birthday was like any other day.  Later in the week I spoiled myself and got a hair cut.  Too bad I can never get my hair to look as nice as… Continue reading A Week of Thankful Boyacks

#bethelight – Day 24

Yesterday was a good day of eating and family fun! Today is Black Friday.  Today all kinds of people are going to be out and about looking for great deals.  Today is a day to be patient.  Be patient with the tellers.  Be patient with fellow shoppers.  Be patient with people on the roads.  Be… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 24

#bethelight – Day 23

Yesterday's activities were fun... all without complaining.  Got Chad's room put back together with a new to him bed.  Did some laundry.  Fixed the washer.  Did the dishes. Made Thanksgiving dishes. Wrote some blogs.  Taught a couple voice lessons.  It was a good day and I didn't complain once! Today is Thanksgiving.  Today people will… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 23

@bethelight – Day 22

Holy Cow!  It is harder than you think to put away your smart phone for even just one meal!  But I did it.  We had guests for dinner so I made sure I put it away.  However, it was hard to ignore the occasional "buzz."  Next time I will need to be sure to leave… Continue reading @bethelight – Day 22

#bethelight – Day 21

Yesterday for #bethelight I decided to leave a big tip in a tip jar at Jamba Juice. This man saw me do it and was curious as to why I would do that. I explained that I had a goal to do something kind every day and that today was the day I chose to tip the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 21

#bethelight – Day 20

Yesterday I attempted to fill my heart with gratitude.  It was my birthday.  I usually dislike my birthday.  It seems like a let down.  So if I have a low expectation it's easy to meet said expectation.  LOL.  However, I went through the day working on my attitude of gratitude and the day went by… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 20

#bethelight – Day 19

Yesterday I commented on a few of my favorite blogs.  I love to read the thoughts of others.  I love when they uplift me. Today I will practice saying please and thank you more often... especially for my trials. "And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 19

#bethelight – Day 18

Yesterday I bought pies.  I don't eat pies.  I will be spreading the joy forward and dropping a pie or two on some unsuspecting porch.  I just wanted to contribute to the fundraising happening in my school.  The fund raising continues.  Tonight is the Panther Auction, a fund raiser for sports in my school.  Choir… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 18

#bethelight – Day 17

Yesterday I found it so satisfying to find people to thank, to find the unsung hero...  custodians, crosswalk lady, teachers, secretaries at school, gas station attendant.  I decided that for a larger action I would write a letter to a principle about her awesome staff.  A different school had come to use the stage at… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 17

#bethegood – Day 16

Yesterday I gave out compliments all day.  It was fun!  However, I did notice that many people were skeptical of my sincerity.  It's like they never hear a compliment so when they do hear one they think the person giving a compliment is after something.  I made an effort to ensure that I was sincere. … Continue reading #bethegood – Day 16
