It is rainy here. But I love it. It doesn't love my sinuses or allergies but I love the cool air. I love seeing the fog float across the sky. If it doesn't flood, I will love it more. But being grateful, It is a gift. Everyday something beautiful surrounds you. Someday's you have to look a little harder to find it but trust me, it is there.
Social media is filled with this toxic feeling. Nope, not here. Do not want it.
When I feel negative and I have! Especially over the weekend and the Kentucky Derby. But I can still love the beauty in all the magnificent horses. I can not change the world, I can only be better where I am. I saw something sweet recently.
I read a piece about a young black teen shopping in a Dollar General store. He completed his purchase and noticed an older white woman struggling to get out of her car. He set his purchase down and told his cousin he was going to help the elderly lady in the parking lot. His aunt video taped him without his knowledge. The lady apologized. Said she was a bit shaky but needed a few items. He took her arm and guided her into the store and helped her shop. He said he was a bit taken back by the number of grown people who just ignored her. I emphasize their skin color only because we hear so much negativity but very few of these types of wonderful stories.
I always feel better when I can hand out kindness. It is free and it feels good to do it.

Very nice post. The world needs more of this.
Kindness...it is much in need these days! Thank you for spreading it!
May I also mention to you...when I try to follow you, it seems I have a bit of trouble. It says "not secure"? Just thought I would tell you...I wish I could be more helpful but I am a bit along in years now and have to rely on others for help when it comes to technical stuff! :-)

I enjoyed the read very much. Love the attitude and the related incident is sweet. Things like that would help the world, if included in the news.

Hello, and thank you for coming over to the Marmelade Gypsy this week. It's just delightful to "meet" you and to read this wonderful story about someone who went the extra mile to help someone. I cannot even begin to imagine how that must have affected the woman and hopefully made an impact on others at the store at the time.
Gratitude is so important. Even the little things -- maybe especially the little things -- deserve our thanks and honor.
All the best this lovely Sunday.
I agree with you. I want to be kind to everyone. Your quotes and blog are very inspirational. Thank you for your thoughtful words!
We need to respect each other an smile always. Thanks for sharing this story. You made my day!
Thank you very much to visit me. Happy 2020 to you too. o drop in again
plz. Hugs Sujatha:)
I am glad you shared the deed of kindness and also we should judge a person by their skin colour. We are thankful for this morning's heavy downpour because it was very hot and without rain for the past weeks. Today we are enjoying a nice cool day.
What a sweet story about that boy helping the elderly lady do her shopping. Too bad you don't read more of that kind of thing in the papers. It's nice to know there are good people in the world.
What a happy and uplifting post! Thank you, and i am sorry you are having such trouble on your other blog, hope you find a way to solve it. In these days of being home more, perhaps you could try to get help from the blog platform (blogger, wordpress, whatever you use).
There is kindness and something tor which to be grateful all of the time, as you say, we need to look, and hand out some kindness whenever we can. Have a great day!
A grateful person is a happy person. If only everyone stop to show kindness regardless of our skin colour.
We are all working a little harder right now to stay positive! Take care this week and stay healthy!
