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

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!

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!

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.

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

Today's act of kindness is actually self care.  I have been burning the candle at both ends... more like exploding the candle.  My body is feeling it.  For the first time in over a year, I am feeling under the weather.  So today, I did something I never do.  I did not power through.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 129
