kindness

It's the year 2022...and people are still behaving this way?

Finally a Happy Animal Story This Week! Mom and Her Kids Reunited .... Recently we have heard a lot of "terrible" animal stories, but I thought I'd share a "good" one. A story involving a family of ducks, a good neighbor and the help of area First Responders.

One thing I noticed from social media is that some nice things happened because of the storm. I thought it might be good to write about some of them in today's blog post. You know me...always trying to make lemonade out of life's occasional lemons.

It's World Kindness Day so I've decided to blog about kindness. It's such a wonderful thing. And it is contagious! Yet don't you encounter a lot of grumpiness and stress each day? If we could all set out to do some random acts of kindness today, that might help chase away the blues on this dreary Monday.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it."

September 21st is known as International Peace Day.  The United Nations calls upon all of us to engage in education and awareness on issues related to peace.  Is your child's school doing something to mark the occasion?  Maybe the kids involved you in a homework assignment about peace...

This week is "Random Acts of Kindness Week" and we're going to find out if we're kind.  I know when Super Storm Sandy hit the Jersey Shore..acts of kindness were everywhere.  But on a daily basis or weekly basis do you do random acts of kindness?

The debate over "happy holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas" has become ridiculous at this point. And, once again, I feel the desire to express my thoughts on the issue.

As I was grabbing my lunch from the office refrigerator, a coworker was sitting in the kitchen by herself watching an all-news channel on TV, and she said something that I think is brilliant - she said that we need "a kindness revolution".

After all the talk yesterday about April Fool's jokes and pranks, this is one that you absolutely have to see. Pranks can take a few different forms - there are the harmless funny ones, there are the mean ones, and then there are the ones like this; where a bunch of people plan together to change someone's life for the better.
