Random Acts of Kindness

I recently have come into a whirl wind of Random Acts of Kindness!
It is amazing how these little acts
of kindness can make one feel. The other day I got a handful of roses from a complete stranger, the funny thing is it just happened to be my birthday. This is something they did not know. At my age you don't like to go around announcing that! But ever since then I have noticed I seem to be the recipient of small acts of kindness everywhere I go. Maybe this is not something new but I just have become more attuned to. I consider these acts a pure gift of human kindness. It reminds me in my busy life.... that people have a beautiful nature about them. It also makes me want to go out and commit these same good acts. They don't have to be large it can be something quite small.... letting someone in, in a high traffic area....a friendly smile... a polite comment. Helping someone with a task even if you don't like to do it yourself. Here is the thing to keep in mind though..... it's never for the thankfulness of the recipient maybe they will not be aware of the gestures. Just do it to be nice, thoughtful and loving of others. Maybe...just maybe, what comes around goes around!

Oh So Busy Summer



I have been oh so busy at work this summer putting in way to many hours at work. Under staffed, the usual problem. But I still found some time to take walks (not as often as I like) Bike rides and Wind Surfing on the ol Grand Lake. I tried out for a play, a murder mystery! I love my character! I'm old and mean and I dislike everything.......then I get killed before act two. It's perfect. Hopefully it will leave me some spare time it try something new. I would like to try my hand at sculpture yet this summer/fall. And I still am working on writing that play. Of course that leaves me with no time to sleep... ha ha. My favorite thing this summer was a family reunion. We through a Hoe Down for the family, about 100 of our favorite relatives. It's amaizing how we don't keep in touch with family. I don't know my cousin's children at all! If it wasn't for the fact that they all look like their parents I wouldn't know them in a croud. But we are trying to bring the family closer by having more get togethers. Next year the plan is a Luau! Anybody have any easy good tropical recipes?

Well I better get on with my summer.... its moving to quickly and I've got more to accomplish! But unfortunately it will have to cont. after work. Upside - it is FRIDAY!!!
