Add Kindness to your Routine

"Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind."Henry James

I am going to be honest - my creative juices are just not flowing tonight.  Here's why:  There is a basketball game on (C'mon Kansas!!), there is a puppy trying to type on my computer - apparently he has something he wants to say as well ;), I am not using the same computer I usually write my blog on so it feels weird, I just moved and cannot find ANYTHING I am looking for, and my daily routine has changed!


We all have our own daily routine.  Wake up, coffee, shower, newspaper, facebook, work, lunch, work, gym, dinner.  You know what I mean.  My daily routine has CHANGED!  Gasp!!  I just moved from an apartment in West Des Moines to a house in Urbandale.    I lived 5 minutes from work, 7 minutes from the gym and was in walking distance to the mall.  I now have to wake up earlier, do something else during my lunch (used to go home), and workout at a different time.  I know, I know, whoopdeedoo....It is not a huge deal but it has interrupted my routine!!

Everyone has circumstances come up where we have to change our routine. Give yourself a positive interruption - do or say something kind to someone.  Make it a part of your daily routine and see how you feel!


Today's Starfish

Because the staff at my old apartment complex was always so accomodating and nice to me, I decided to show my appreciation today by making some goodies and taking it to them during my lunch.  It felt wonderful to be able to tell them how much I enjoyed living in my apartment and that it is not very often that you come across such a nice staff that truly have their tenant's best interests in mind.
