What a Delight!

717) As I get older, I’m finding that many physical actions I used to do are getting harder. One of these things is sitting on bleachers for more than 20 minutes. The last time I went to school to watch my kids play basketball, I could hardly walk afterward. These physical activities I refer to

712) When you see someone else make horrible, and even evil decisions, it’s easy to think, I’ll never do that!

Scheduling Kindness

711) The phrase, “random acts of kindness” is well known. These actions may be as small as opening the door for someone whose hands are full or paying for a stranger’s coffee. Kindness is always a wonderful thing but it also might be good to be reminded that these actions don’t solely need to be
