Always Room for Kindness

What is it about today that has brought out all the rude people? I feel like no one wants to do a simple kindness for others any more. It’s not that hard to be friendly and gracious toward others. Both the person you help and you benefit – and even the people around you who witness the kindness benefit.

I encourage everyone to do something nice for another person today. A simple smile and “Hello” to someone you pass on the street, picking up a piece of litter and disposing of it, saying something nice to the clerk behind the register or the person in line behind you. There are endless opportunities to do nice things if you just make a little effort.

Thanks for at least considering it – and an extra thank you if you put my suggestion to use today. And tomorrow. 🙂

Talking during movies

I’m a total chatter bug when I watch movies or television with other people.  I like to talk about what is happening in the plot or what I think might come next.  I know it drives some people nuts but I can’t help myself sometimes.  I especially ask questions if I think I miss something.  My husband usually tells me to listen and pay attention and it will make sense.  I’m sooo happy that I can rewind most anything now with the invention of DVR.  I wish I had that ability in movie theaters.  Don’t worry… I’m quiet when I go out to see a movie.  You just have to worry about me jibber jabbering if I am at home.

Club Rules

club rules

The only thing wrong with these rules is that the club owners found it necessary to write them all down and post them.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Here it is again… Thanksgiving.  I love all of the cooking and preparation and traveling  when it comes to Thanksgiving.  Every Thanksgiving that comes around I  travel home to be with friends and family.  There’s always traffic, family, and a bunch of food.  I’m not sure just yet what I am going to bring but I’m sure it will be tasty.  I’m thankful for my family wanting me around for turkey day!  So I guess it’s time to start cooking and then hit the road again!

Close it now

I see that congress has blocked the President’s plan to close the base at Guantanamo Bay Cuba.  I say close it and send the terrorists to a prison in the Atric.  They would be happy to be on a beach in Cuba where it is never cold; the sun shines almost all of the time.  I for one am tired of providing comfort to people who want to kill all Americans.  Give them a nice warm grave and do away with anyone who hates us that much.
