This is a quote from a not so famous person. I find it simple but profound. Here it is...
"Kindness, it's just not that hard."
Pass it on, especially to someone who is struggling with attitude or behavior... "you might try kindness, it's just not that hard."
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
Rudy is a server at First Watch in Independence, MO. He is one of my favorite humans. I don't get to see him very often, but when I do, it is always so good to see him. Yesterday I had breakfast with KC and Rudy was there.
He was surprised to see me, but glad to see me. As I write this, I have a smile on my face. He is a very good man and it did me good to tell him so.
"Rudy, you are one of my favorite humans."
If you feel that way about someone, tell them. I might have written about this recently, but I cannot stress enough the importance of telling people that you love, that you love them.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
When was sunscreen invented? It wasn't around when I was a kid. At least commercially like it is now.
I read up on this topic. Evidently different tribes and cultures have used different compounds for many years.
Commercially, with the SPB rating, they started showing up in the 1970's. As a child, I was allergic to the sun and in the summer, I suffered if I did not stay in the shade. [it was that Scottish skin that I inherited from my father...]
I for one am thankful for the invention of readily available sunscreen. I know that this sounds like a silly thing or a simple thing to be thankful for, but there was a time when I did not have this product.
What are you thankful for today?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
"Gratitude makes us feel good because it helps us widen our frame of vision. When we are under depression or stress, we can develop tunnel vision, seeing only this problem or that difficulty. We can get over taken by a heavy, dark feeling of despair. But when we experience a sense of gratitude, we give ourselves a dose of mental sunshine. Suddenly the world seems brighter, and we have more options."
M.J. Ryan
In other words, if you want to get out of your funk, find something to be thankful for and focus on that. Then repeat.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
