Acts of Kindness

So it occurs to me that our particular Ten Tigers group is in the habit of doing acts of kindness already.  I think that this project for us will, rather than get us used to doing them, get us used to recognizing them when we do them.  For example, tonight I went to IGA to pick up something for dinner, then cooked dinner.  I could have let Tammy do it, or gone with her suggestion to just thaw something out, but I decided to go ahead and do those things.  I didn't realize until afterwards that those are simple, small acts of kindness.  Noone ever said the acts of kindness had to be huge, monumental tasks.

  1. If you read more than just this comment of Dean's, you'll see he's really quite eloquent and don't usually speak in h's and j's. lol.

    What he meant to say, that was lost when technology bit him, was that we should take a moment at the end of each day and think about those who have done acts of kindness for us. That can be as important as doing them ourselves. I like that idea.

  2. Thank you Anne for defending my penmanship! Yes, that was the sum of what I was trying to say. Perhaps I can redeem myself in future blogs! HAH
