Random Acts of Kindness...

Myguy stopped at our son's house this weekend to swap trucks.

He needed the dually to haul round bales and so he got to 

see our grandgirl.  Before leaving she picked this flower and gave it to him

to bring back for me.  

And not only that but she told him exactly how to present it.  

He was to hold it behind his back

so it would be this big surprise.  Then, when he handed it to me, 

she told  him that Grammy will be so happy and go:

"oHHhhhhhHHhh IT'S SOoooo BEAUTIFUL!" (she did it in a grammy voice)

"Then she'll put it up by her cookbooks 

so she can save it," 

:) 

He did exactly as she told him.  

And I did the Ohhhhh it's so beautiful thing too.  

We both smiled.  

The flower is setting on the shelf by my cookbooks

because I'm saving it. 

That little rak gave us both this  amazing, warm, fuzzy,

gooey, lavished, oh-so 

decadent feeling of 

sheer love.  

Just awhile ago, I walked past that little frazzled, dried up flower and 

smiled all over again.

The love; it's  still right there...

so Blessed.  

Thumbing through a new magazine I came upon an article on 

Raks.  Random acts of kindness. 

The article listed ideas of things we can do for others.  

Leaving flowers for someone... it mentioned their mailbox but I would instead

leave them on their doorstep.  

Another  was to  simply  say Hello to a passerby.

It seems so small and yet, .... look how many times you can walk past 

people and most people look away and never utter a word.  I think it's even more 

important now adays because if you have to wear a mask no one can even see

you smile. Life can feel ...mundane.  

Especially during this covid thing, don't you think? 

So my wheels are turning today.  

What are things I can do to brighten someone else's day? 

I don't see alot of people.  

One thing I have wanted to start doing more of is:

sending snail mail, or 

happy mail rather.  

I actually have happy mail to take to the post office for a city mouse that I've never met but who 

has herself been a big blessing in my life.  

Getting real mail is delightful!!!!

Not many people write a hand written letter anymore and yet 

who doesn't love getting a hello in the mail? 

So that's on my to do list.  

I have a free afternoon today! 

I'll be splashing  paint, and using markers, watercolors,.. just makin a happy mail mess.  

Oh what fun.  

I hope y'all have a wonderfully blessed day as well!

Until we meet again,

<*)))><
