I had an interesting thing happen today.  I actually started Christmas shopping this afternoon (I normally do ALL my shopping on Christmas Eve with my sister).  I tell you, it really was making me feel good.  I was able to find some awesome gifts at unbelievable savings.  After that, I noticed several nice things done for me.  On two occasions I had a nice […]

I thought I would post the Daily Positive Points from today since it related to kindness. 

Today’s Message

Try every day to do something kind.  It can be for someone else, an animal and/or even yourself.  Sometimes it is the smallest gifts we give that have the biggest impact on […]

This morning I did something fun for a change.  After working out, my eye caught the basketball gym.  The same thing happened yesterday but I ignored it.  This time though, I went in and picked up a basketball.  I played for a good 20 minutes.  In the process, I won 3 game 7’s of the […]

Answer this:  Is doing something you do not want to do for someone else a kind deed?  Or, is it something unkind you do for yourself?  Hmmmmm.

As I pondered this question I didn’t know the answer at first.  I can do something kind for someone else but if it is at my own expense, it […]

Yesterday I decided that I would go through my closet and donate a lot of my clothes to Goodwill.  It is kind of funny how you can get attached to some of your clothes.  I decided that I was going to clear out a good part of my wardrobe regardless how I felt about them.  […]

Tonight my wife and I went elf shopping for Hugs and Hope for Sick Children.  I have to say that it was a little difficult for me.  I felt a lump in my throat the entire time.  Not knowing if this child would see another Christmas or not.  We picked out some pretty cool […]

We have now reached a milestone in our kindness challenge.  We are officially two thirds of the way done.  There have been some interesting things that happened to me during this time.  One of the most important things I have learned is that kindness is contagious.  I have discovered that when I do kind deeds […]

Kindness is a blessing especially when you combine gratitude with it.  Being thankful for everything in your life will allow you to do even more for others.  You really can make a major impact on others.  All it takes is to practice doing kind deeds today.  Then, repeat tomorrow and keep repeating.

“The unthankful heart… discovers […]

Today’s kindness is compassion.  This was taken from our Daily Positive Points:  Look through the glasses of compassion and you will see things much clearer in your life.  Do not just look through them every now and then, teach yourself to look at each situation with compassion.  When the heart softens, peace and abundance immediately […]

Today we were once again given a very cool air show by some of the locals.  Here in Destin, FL, there are several retired military pilots from World War II.  We discovered that they restored several 1944 T-6 Texans and to the delight of people on the beach, they fly in formation and put on […]
