Everyday Kindness

Friday I continued my prayer project.  It was another writing day.

I focused on not only sending a prayer to people I came in contact with but trying to be a prayer to those people.  What I mean is that I focused on saying kind things in my blog comments, my emails, and on the telephone.

In order to do this, I had to limit my contact with judgmental forces such as certain sarcastic websites, cynical thinkers, and judgmental people.  It’s not that I could not be kind there.

Sarcasm, cynicism, and judgments are like a drug.  Once taking that path, I struggle to be calm, open, and kind.  Instead, I am superior, right, and “smart”. (rolling my eyes at myself)

The kindest thing I did Friday was for myself.  I took a nap at the end of the day.  Sigh.  It was delicious.

I will continue this project today.
