Tag: kindness matters

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!

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

Wow.... I was so busy yesterday.  I went to the chiropractor, chatted with good friends, went to the Farmer's Market and bought a few plants to put in my garden and a couple veggies.  The farmers at the Farmer''s Market were so cool.  When I bought some leeks and lettuce I told the farmer to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 174 and 175

Today I bought some plant from the FFA kind.  I think its great to support these kids in learning some useful skills!  However, I am the real winner here.  My hanging flower baskets are beautiful!

Since yesterday was earth day, I decided to spread light today by working in my garden.  Flowers bring a smile to my face.  They have to bring a smile to the faces of others as they pass my house. 🙂  So I spent a little time cleaning up the yard.  It's a breathe of fresh… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 169
