But I Don’t Want To Read Directions.
Nothing seems easy these days. "Some assembly required" makes my skin crawl because that means I will have to read the directions. People say men never read directions. Well neither do impatient women like me. I don't want to read the directions for a new...
National Random Act of Kindness Day!
Today is National Random Acts of Kindness Day! All week, I've been talking about different ways we can make a difference to others and showing you ways people have made a difference to me. Today I am paying it forward with some gift cards to a couple people who helped...
Kindness Act Day Six!
"Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail, can keep the postal workers from delivering our mail." We've heard the saying. We've believed it. And truth be told, we've come to expect it. No excuses. The postal service has an important job to perform and they take it...
