Everyday Kindness

She became a butterfly tagged me on my other blog. I thought I would do it here as well because, frankly, we could us a bit more traffic here!
Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet. If your domain name, or even the [...]

Even with my interruption, we continue to grow.
Isn’t that cool??  I’ll write an around Everyday Kindness on Sunday as usual.  (My husband promises no more moving the computers around.)
What’s been happening here?
Oh gosh.
What I see is a lot of sad people, a lot of anxious people, and a lot of people who need a smile. [...]

Ok, we are playing computer-go-round at our house. (It’s a very long and quite boring story.) That said, I won’t be able to get around today.
But will as soon as….

I’m still here - still plugging away with my everyday kindness commitment…
Just not really online yet.

The last four or five days, I’ve been in this odd position: A lot of people have asked for or needed my assistance.  I’m not talking about small acts of kindness.  I mean, people at our house for dinner, friends who need writing advice, long conversations about people’s woes, and so on.

I’d never thought of the truth as kind.

Yesterday I was able to do tiny gestures.  I gave an elderly couple my parking space.  I let people cut in line.  I didn’t swear at the person who cut me off. I even helped an upset friend in trouble.
Then came today.  A nasty comment on my MySpace page and I’m grumbling.  The kindest thing [...]

In the last couple of days (day 14 & 15), I’ve wondered how to do an act of kindness when I feel heart sick.  While I know that there are a lot of other bigger problems in the world, right at this moment, my own problems have me feeling very sad.
This too shall pass.
Yesterday was [...]

As usual for me, I’ve gotten a little big in my thinking. I want to fix everything right this very minute or yesterday. Pathetic, isn’t it? Sigh.
Last week, I spent most of my kindness acts praying for people. But then that’s not enough. So I have to then be a prayer [...]

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.
