SHOW SOMEONE KINDNESS TODAY

I am still not doing great - going downhill. I go to the doctor tomorrow. I will probably be put in the hospital once again - should probably be there now!

But through it all, there have been some bright spots. My daughter came over two nights ago to check on me - she calls me all the time and comes over when she is not working. She got me something to eat and just spent some time with me. I was sitting in my chair, which is all I can do right now, and realized she was cleaning the kitchen!! And I don't mean just wiping off the counters - she was deep cleaning! It may seem like a little thing but to me it was huge!! I have not been able to do much and she knows how much I can't stand having it not clean. She even mopped my floor! And I didn't even ask her! It meant more to me than I can ever express. And everyday she calls me numerous times to see if I need anything, if I need her to bring me food, if I need to go to the hospital, just to check in. I am truly blessed!!

I just hope we all can remember that we don't have to do anything major to make a difference in someone's life. Just a call, a touch, a hug, an "I love you" can make all the difference in the world!


NEVER SILENT

A loving heart, a gentle smile, a warm and tender touch
We give so many things in life but nothing means as much.

A little inspiration when one loses hope,
A kind word of encouragement when they no longer seem to cope
A simple phrase, "I love you" when no one else is there
Taking hold onto a hand in a little heartfelt prayer.

Love is never silent
It has so much to say,
And it is our greatest blessing
when we give it all away.
