Project 365....Daily Photos...Our life...So Blessed!

I have really loved this project and taking a picture everyday. It really does change how you look at life and "your" life, at least it has for us. Demi and I do this together and have really enjoyed documenting what we do daily to include our fav meals, friends, our town, school activities, family, neighbors, bdays...so glad we got in on this one.

If you didnt order Becky Higgins Project 365, you could still do this using regular 4x6 photo sleeves in 12.x12 books and with your own journaling cards. It is never too late as you can start this anytime, afterall if is a full year so start tomorrow!!

I am going to start posting my photo of the day so I have a place to come for order..I have gotten behind with my printing and think this will make it so easy when that time comes to have them all printed. In the meantime I need to do the journaling cards as well as another way to stay current. This is Demi and Ms Patti....our beloved neighbor and friend that we love dearly along with her husband Worth. She is so good to Demi as are most of our neighbors.

This next picture is of Pappy, our neighbor who adopted us as a daughter and granddaughter. We love him and gramma so much! We live in the most awesome neighborhood, surrounded by lots of love. I stand firm on the thought that it takes a village to raise a child and being single mom am so thankful there are so many caring, loving and giving folks in this world, our world!

Here is a picture from this week...until tomorrow sweet dreams and don't let the bed bugs bite.(just the thought of this grosses me out...not even sure where this came from...just one of those sayings that came out...haha).

PS - Tomorrow is a very busy day...work, TRUTHS (our lock in at church for 6th-12th grade girls.), finish getting donations, finish 40 paperbag items, garage sale...uhm, could I fit anything else in possibly? Love being busy and am so looking forward to God's blessings tomorrow!!

Planting seeds with Random Acts of Kindness today..

Here is your challenge today if you want to make the world a better place on person at a time and also fill your heart with JOY. Yesterday I decided that we would talk to each other with smiles on our faces. You should try this..not only does everything come out sounding so much better but smiling brings out those endorphines making you feel better too. (Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and offering up this information as such!).

So go and plant some seeds today and watch your garden grow with your RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS!!

Here are some things you can do:

1. Wash your elderly neighbors car
2. Smile at a stranger
3. Offer to watch your friends or a single moms kids so they can have some down time...trust me this is such a small thing but huge for someone who needs an hour or 2...
4. Cook someone a meal...maybe they have been sick or in a bad place...I love doing this even though this is not my gift..I havent had one meal returned.....haha
5. buy someone through the drive through their meal or drink...you know you can do this at starbucks....
6. treat your trash friends with a snack and drink this week...we do this and they love it...being that it is almost 100 - the water/soda is awesome...we so appreciate them too!
7. RAK a book to a friend, share wht you love with others
8. RAK your books/mags to a hospital or retirement home....
9. Volunteer...anywhere....
10.Pump gas for someone....

There are so many things you can do that would not cost you a dime or very little that truly will make a difference to those you come in contact with and or decide to RAK today...come on even with your busy schedule or lack of funds can find a way to make someone else's day...making the world/your town/your neighborhood better one person at a time.......wouldn't it be nice to see how your kindness went on and on.....can you imagine all the goodness...all the smiles...maybe you will be that one piece of hope someone needed today to continue on when they don't feel like it....I love to include children, I think it is one of the simpliest acts they can learn and one of the most valuable lessons in life they can learn and enjoy!! IF YOU DO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR RAKS AND HOW YOU FELT, THE KEY IS NOT TO HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS WITH OTHERS BY WHAT YOU DO. HONESTLY SOME PEOPLE REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY AND THAT IS OKAY. JUST KNOW YOU ARE FILLING THEIR HEARTS WITH LOVE!!

Make it a great day and remember God loves you, that is right YOU - just the way you are!!!
