Today, I was at a light and a gentleman was homeless and people were giving him little packages, food and cash. I decided to give him what I could, unfortunately it didn‘t amount to much. My husband is working on starting a relationship with our church and the Rescue Mission. He said he was going to ask them if they‘ve seen him in there and if not he‘s going to take him in for hot food and a bed... 👇

eanderson Zach is also going to start working with the mission to help people get jobs. He‘s a salesman with a ton of contacts in town. I love that he has a passion for helping. #kindessandpositivityweek 4y

Thank you all for your kind words. They have helped so much. This is such a loving community and I knew you would understand.
Persephone had a good life. She was found inside the engine of a car as a kitten. I met her when I went to adopt a different cat. Once we saw each other, we chose each other. She was my reading, tv watching, everything companion ever since. She liked to sit on my shoulder. Like a parrot. 😸
I miss I her so much.

Today is day 1 of #HaveCourageBeKind November. I wasn't around a ton of people today but I did go kayaking. I made sure to smile and say Hi to every person I passed and I even made a new friend who let me try his paddle board. Anyone else today? Even the smallest act counts

Clwojick I shared my birthday dessert, lol. I think that's kind of me. 😂 but really though, I'm glad I seen this post. I'll have to keep it in my thoughts throughout the crazy holiday months, as they can be extra taxing in the health care industry. #smileandwaveboys 7y
TaylorMay @Clwojick that's the nicest thing ever! And don't worry I will have to keep it in mind too. Customer Service during the holidays is no joke. 7y

[DELETED] 3803335244 I helped out my neighbor. He was in need of some food, he‘s an older gentleman who struggles. He‘s a little mean at times but it was a good lesson for my kids. Because I am a firm believer that what you give out, you get back. I hope he does better this month. I think deep down he‘s just sad not angry. 7y
TaylorMay @ForeverNerdy that's just amazing! I'm sure he appreciated it more than you will ever know. What a kind heart and a great mom Leading by example 7y
TricksyTails Thank you for this. It's been a rough few years and since joining Litsy I have had people treat me with such kindness. I'm completely blown away by these random acts and it makes my hardened heart melt. 7y
TaylorMay @TricksyTails that is so amazing to hear because you are the exact reason I'm doing this. If only one person is touched or moved by my acts then I have accomplished my goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤ 7y

Never buy or rent an east-facing house (bedroom) because you'll forever forever be getting up too early. 6:51 on Memorial Day weekend. 😒 So here's to a Kind bar and a Cheerwine way too early! And from the drip, you can see that Cheerwine is actually deep red.

Reecaspieces I feel your pain!!! Enjoy! 8y
AnnaDesourdy I'm from the home of Cheerwine! Love it!!! 8y
Bookquilter I am with you... 4 am in AZ. I didn't need the sun. I see a nap in my future 8y

Megabooks @AnnaDesourdyAuthor Totally necessary!! 8y

StephanieMarie I love those kind bars!!! Had some on vacation but have not been able to find them in Canada 😔 (at least not where I live) 8y
Megabooks @StephanieMarie Boo! They're fantastic! 8y
kalinichta I feel you. I just recently bought blackout curtains to help combat the situation. Now if I can just get the bloody birds to keep quiet. 8y
kiminreverse I worked overnight for years, so I have blackout curtains. I like getting up early though! Which is good because I got a dog after those overnight years and she is such a morning dog. She's licking me and diving on my head and wrestling with the blankets by 8am, always. 8y
Megabooks @kalinichta @kiminreverse My mom just mentioned blackout curtains on the phone! I'm gonna by to have to get some! I can't do this early light anymore! 8y
Laalaleighh Blackout curtains are life. 8y
LauraBrook For real, they're the best. I got mine in the clearance kids section online at Target for $12 each. (Navy with white polka dots.) They're awesome! Couldn't sleep without them. 8y
faelinwolf I am also Team Blackout Curtains! 8y
Megabooks @Laalaleighh @LauraBrook @faelinwolf Peer pressure!!! 😂😂 that's a good idea Laura. My mom gets a lot of J.C. Penney's coupons, so I'll have her look online. 8y
melbeautyandbooks Blackout curtains are the best! I love those Kind bars! 8y
melbeautyandbooks I put blackout curtain liners behind my blackout curtains. They work great. Now if they made noise canceling curtains, I would be set. The builders start at 6:30 in the morning. That's way too early to be hearing saws and foundations being poured, etc. (I live in a new neighborhood and the houses are still being built). 8y
Megabooks @melbeautyandbooks I could not sleep without my white noise cancellation. Too many noises in an apartment complex. I just have a hepa filter set to medium by my bed and that keeps out a lot of general noise. Construction noise is terrible though. Hopefully they'll build fast! 8y
MicheleinPhilly I hear you. I need to dig out my eye shades when the seasons change. Of course this morning I let Pickles get into bed with us and we promptly fell asleep for another 3 hours. 😬 8y
Megabooks @MicheleinPhilly I can't wear eye shades. They just feel weird to me. And it's crazy how much pets will let you get away with once they're in bed! Henry's asleep next to me now, but if I kick him out of bed, he whines and whines! 8y

2016, Book 52 "When your mind is raging, use Kindfulness and letting go: "Dear crazy mind of mine, the door of my heart is fully open to you no matter what you ever do to me. You may destroy or crush me, but I will give you no ill will. I love you, my mind, no matter what you ever do."
Make peace with your crazy mind instead of fighting it."

Suet624 That's such a tender way of dealing with the mind. 8y

Even if I am not convinced "kindfullness" is a real word, I am sticking my face in this book for a few minutes as an antidote to the pre-election noise.
