About Me

My photo
I am the Mother of two great adult children, Elizabeth 27 years, and Scott 24 years. On September 4, 2010 I gained a new son-in-law in the family - Josh. I look forward to the new adventures this brings our family! I find it difficult to be a human "being" versus a human "doing" and strive to find a peace and serenity.

What was the last time you did a random act of kindness? @postaday2011

I tend to keep an "eye out" on my surroundings - where I am, who is around me, what others are doing, etc. This can lead to some interesting observations and at times, helpful ones. I see people drop things a lot and let them know. Sometimes they drop currency and I let them know. I see people who could benefit from a door held open for them, from a hand carrying something, or picking up something they have dropped. I see people who may benefit from directions to a location (sometimes I'm even helpful giving directions!) and people who look like they could use a "hello" or a smile - and I share one with them. I like how cashiers, wait staff, and others in customer service ask me about my day. I like to ask them how their day is in return. I hope all of these actions are taken as random acts of kindness. That is the intention of my actions. In return, my day is better and I hope other's days are better because of the actions too.
