If only you knew you would understand

You can think you know someone, yet have no idea what they are going through. Some things they choose not to discuss with anyone. You obviously can only base your opinions on what you see and hear. That is why you should be kind to everyone you meet because you have no idea what they may be facing. As the Christmas Season approaches it brings joy. But there are some people who are alone for the holiday, which brings them sadness. If you know someone who doesn't have plans for Christmas, invite them over during the season to share some Christmas Joy with them. You could bake some Christmas cookies and share some with them. I like to pay for the food for the car behind me in a drive thru a couple of times in the days leading up to Christmas. A random act of kindness can help spread the Christmas Joy. Remember the reason for the season is to to spread comfort and joy not go into debt buying gifts you can't afford. Sharing a smile won't cost you a penny. And being patient as you are out in the holiday crowds is the only way to stay Holly and Jolly.

A job well done is done with a smile.

Just when it seems like the World is full of people who have no compassion for anyone someone will do something kind. It makes me realize that there are kind caring people out there. Even though he was doing his job he was courteous and pleasant which made the cost not so painful. Just being kind while you are doing whatever it is you have to do makes Life easier for those you encounter throughout your day. I want to say Thank you to the employee at O'Reilly Auto Parts for helping me flush away a bad day. And I would like to encourage you to be kind to everyone you meet because you have no idea what they may be facing.

"Peace of Mind" brings "Peace on Earth"

Do you ever wander is there anything that you can personally do to make our Neighborhoods safe? Or how on earth we can have Peace on Earth? When Mother Theresa was asked in her later years if she thought Peace was even possible considering the state the World was in, she responded something to the effect...If one person from every family would stand up and be a role model in every way then it is possible. Be that person to help bring "Peace on Earth" because One Person, One Family, One Neighborhood at a time we can all find "Peace of Mind" which is necessary to have "Peace on Earth."
