Random Acts of Kindness
Mornin’! It’s gray and drizzly outside, but I got to wake up to the sound of the rain which was so nice! It certainly made it hard to get up and get going though and I actually contemplated going back to bed for 15 minutes after brushing my teeth! I fought the urge, though, and moved onward! To breakfast! Well, packing it anyways.
I decided to leave the almond milk out of the equation today, because I’m feeling a little grazy this week. I was a hungry beast yesterday looking for anything and everything in sight to eat, so hopefully being able to take my time with this bowl will solve my problems!
This banana should help too. It’s just about the curliest one I’ve ever seen.
Lunch is another grazer’s delight!
We’ve got carrots + almond butter, as I literally cannot go one day with it.
A Peanut Butter Cooke Larabar.
SO AMAZING! I hope I can hold off until lunch to dig into this!!!
And a 100 Calorie bag of Popcorn. This stuff ROCKS and is a great afternoon snack. Although it’s only 100 calories, the portion is actually pretty big. I can fill a small plate up 3 or 4 times!
So, guess what was on my front porch when I got home yesterday? A big package! A HUGE smile spread across my face – who doesn’t like to get packages?!
I tore it open and started laughing with delight. A Haiku written just for me by some IGE readers in North Carolina! How sweet!!!
Inside the box was a plethora of Trader Joe’s goodies – these girls know me so well!!! Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix Organic, Whole Wheat Penne Pasta TWO Jars of Pumpkin Butter Almond Butter Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar Cashew Cookie Larabar All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you to Lauren and Elyssa – what a kind and thoughtful thing to do. You made my day…nay week!! I can’t wait to prepare a pumpkin pancake FEAST this weekend!
Oh, Ben, who was already wearing his NC Tarheels sweatpants…
saw the note and ran to get his Tarheels cape. He say ‘go Tarheels and go care packages!’
Thanks again ladies! In more random acts of kindness news - did you happen to know that there is a Random Acts of Kindness Foundation which is the United States delegate to the World Kindness Movement? People in these countries promote kindness within their countries’ borders and are creating a global network of kindness and compassion. I just think that’s really cool. What’s the last random act of kindness you did, or experienced yourself? Need some kindness ideas? Hug a friend or family member for no good reason Leave a flower on the doorstep of someone you love Donate old clothes Bring bagels to work or school Cook a meal for a new parent Call or write someone an email telling them how much you appreciate them Pay for the person’s meal/drink behind you at the drive through Surprise a co-worker with their favorite hot coffee or tea drink Ask someone if he/she needs help I’m a big fan of the last one. I can’t express how much it means to me when Ben simply asks – “Is there anything I can do, or help you with right now?” I firmly believe that it’s the little things that really touch people. You never know how one good deed, or act of kindness will affect someone’s day, week, month or even year! Now go, enjoy your Tuesday, and spread the love – try and do one act of kindness today and share it with me tonight!
