Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. And, you know what to do… perform a few random acts of kindness. Almost any kind deed will do. And, we highly recommend you perform kind acts on as many people as you can. People like the idea of showing a little kindness to others. Its a fun and good thing to do. And, they like being on the receiving end of this day as well. It makes both the giver and the receiver feel good.
What comes around, goes around. Random Acts of Kindness is highly contagious.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A kind word is like a Spring day.
Russian Proverb
You all know I’m longing for Spring ! A warm smile, a kind word, a loving touch can warm our hearts even in the midst of a cold winter day. The cold days and grey skies take their toll. It’s not easy to be bright and cheery when you’re covered head to toe in fleece, wool and long underwear. It’s just really hard to be nice when you can’t feel your toes.There is no doubt about it, winter can bring you down. But in the cases of more extreme weather events, one of the sole upsides may be the communal spirit and acts of kindness that emerge after a winter storm.
So, as we prepare for the final long months of winter weather, don’t despair. Warm up your home, your office, or your school with a simple act of kindness. It won’t cost you a thing, but the return could be priceless
Keep safe and keep warm and have a terrific Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
Henry James
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. Sometimes it seems as if I’m repeating a lot of things that I’m thankful for, but no moment is really ever the same and every day is a new beginning. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
2501. for kindness, it does matter
2502. for warm hugs
2503. for a reminder that although its nice to be important, It’s even more important to be nice !
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's

ADVICE FOR TODAY
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

Always good to do random acts of kindness for those we love and even strangers :) Its amazing how people look surprised when you tell them they can go ahead of you in line at the store when they have a few items and you have a lot or even just opening the door for someone will bring a smile to their face.

You are so right...it just takes one little thing to put a smile on some one's face.
Thank you for the encouragement to keep smiling even through the storms.
