I`ve been practicing random acts of kindness in the past twenty four hours and, already, I feel the difference in my mood. Just doing little things like taking someone`s cart back to the grocery store for them after they`ve done loading, running to the store for my busy DIL and other small niceties (that I should have been doing anyways) have made ME feel good.
It`s the little things in life that make a difference. I hope to continue this practice and not forget about it after a few days. Remind me, would-ja...
I am anxious to start having the grandchildren over for sleep-overs when they`re old enough and the oldest one will be this summer. What fun it will be to bake with her and play games, etc. I don`t get to see some of the little ones as much as I would like but when I really think about it, it`s my doing as well as their parent`s. A little phone call or text requesting an audience with the little urchins is usually all it takes.
Today I plan on starting to write a small biography of my favourite uncle, Godfather and best friend; who is 83. He will be delighted to tell me all about his varied and fascinating life.
I am checking things off my list of doing one thing a day that makes a difference in my bucket or to do list and feel the satisfaction of that.
Onward and upward and still SOBER... day 98 (counting BACK from 100) LOL...
