Day 31- January 31st 2012

I took my neighbour a mini Apple Toffee loaf today as a 'thank you' for watching Mr. Man on the weekend while I Zumba'd. It was just recently brought to my attention how sometimes lines can be blurred between friends when it comes to watching/babysitting each others kids and expected payment. I always will offer to pay, and usually it is always declined...so instead, I bring something over (like dinner or a loaf or cookies) or I make a nice card...I always want to make sure the people in my life know how much I love having them there and that their acts of generosity and kindness towards me do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Because- they are ALWAYS noticed and ALWAYS appreciated.

Thanks A for helping out with Mr. Man, and Miss C...I'm not looking forward to you moving... :(

Today's RAoK- thanks!

Day 30- January 30th 2012

I got into my car tonight to go tutor, and I realized that I hadn't done my RAoK yet. I was kind of kicking myself when this HUGE dog jumped up into my van...SERIOUSLY! This happened. A lady came running up behind this dog, apologizing profusely. I told her it was no problem and I helped her get the dogs collar back on. She thanked me and continued on her walk.

Totally random.

Today's RAoK- getting a dog out of my car and back in a collar.

Woof!

Day 29- January 29th 2012

My friend is sick. She has a cold. I know (from personal experience) how much that sucks, especially when you have little humans to take care of. Her husband stopped by on Sunday for a bit, and I sent home a jar of my homemade chicken noodle soup and a 'feel better' card.

Feel better friend!

RAoK- food, again...it's just how I am...

Day 28- January 28th 2012

I let someone with ONE item go in front of me at Costco today. He appreciated it, and since my kids were behaving...I thought, 'what the heck!'...and to boot, because I let him cut in front of me, he unloaded all of my stuff for me.

RAoK- letting someone with ONE item budge...

The photo quality is poor as I took it on my iPhone, but you see...one item...Costco was SO busy!

Day 27- January 27th 2012

Today's RAoK is personal.

I made my kids laugh today...over and over and over again...

Giggles galore!

Day 26- January 26th 2012

I'm a member of a private chat forum/message boards that I made for my Mommy friends. Someone started a thread today about Facebook and how a lot of times there seems to be an abundance of negative things said and not a whole lot of happy and positive things. I've noticed this too! In an attempt to "make love, not war" she posted her status as "is wanting to spread some love on facebook...Share something that you are thankful for!" and has since received 19 positive and thankful comments! Inspiring! I posted a comment about something that I am thankful for.

Today's RAoK- making love, not war...but positively commenting on a friends Facebook status!

Day 25- January 25th 2012

It was a good friends birthday yesterday. She turned 40. I got this text from her at 11am yesterday....
"Hey this 40 thing....sucks ass in case you had any doubt :-)"


Today, I sent her a card...Happy Birthday T!


RAoK- happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!
