| Kindness Rocks |
Everything looks better after winter, brighter, prettier. We do our spring cleaning. Move around our furniture or dream of what changes we'll make. A haircut would be perfect or a trip. After a stay-at-home, we long to get out in the world. Time to do a little for ourselves and maybe, a little something for others.
A dark-haired, young woman pulled up in a truck and asked if she could help me. I explained my situation, and she drove me around the vast parking area until I spotted my Prius. I never learned her name. When I think of her, I call her my guardian angel.More memories flood my brain. The stranger who stopped and changed my tire when I was stranded on the side of the road. Even the small acts of kindness have affected me. The lady who let me go ahead of her in the long checkout line. The elderly gent who freed my coat zipper in the eye doctor's waiting room. (Though I worried how well he could see.) Your actions are not forgotten.
So my friends, when you're feeling down, know there is goodness out there. Every little positive action counts. And of course, if you can't go out, remember—pick up a romance novel. In our books, a happy ending is always guarantied to blossom, and love will win the day!
Stay Safe, My Friends!!
~Love, Nora

ReplyDeleteYour welcome. Good luck on the raffletcopter.
DeleteWe do need to remember that there are good people in this world. I've had many instances of people helping me when I need it. Most recently, (a few months ago) my tire popped as I was driving. I pulled into a dirt parking lot on a construction site. About ten guys came over and proceeded to change it for me. Divine Intervention and I was very thankful for it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is better to look at the good things than dwell on the bad!!
Wow, Kari, what great timing that it went where all those people could help you. Easy to forget the little thing in life. Though I kind of wished you had a picture of all those helpers with you tire.
DeleteThe timing of your post is perfect, Nora, and it gives me a glimmer of hope. I, too, have met some "guardian angels". Thank you for reminding me. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you have met some guardian angels too!
DeleteGreat post. Made me reflect back, like the person who returned my purse when I drove off leaving it on the roof of the car. Easy to do when you're strapping in a toddler.
ReplyDeleteNora...lovely post and so appropriate for these times. I like to pay forward kindness. I think it begets more. Sweet Dreams Baby seems like a great concept!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great feeling when you pay it forward too, isn't it?
DeleteSuch a nice post, and a good reminder that we should try to make kindness viral.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nora, for a wonderful post and a much-needed reminder. I didn't see a link for your free book in your post so I'm pasting it here: https://www.amazon.com/SWEET-DREAMS-BABY-Mystery-6-oh-3-ebook/dp/B071PDDBKL/ (Thanks for the book!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan! Another act of kindness!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Being positive can make a difference in every part of our lives, including our health. Besides, focusing on the good makes our days more enjoyable. Best wishes for success with your new book.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroling, thanks for all the wonderful wishes. Sometimes it's almost work to stay positive but the results are worth it. Have a great one.
DeleteImportant to remember that there is good. Thanks for your giveaway and post.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, thanks for reading my post Have a good day and hope you run into some kind people.
DeleteThank you for the reminder that there IS good in this world. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteSo easy to forget with all the reminders around us. Stay strong!
DeleteLovely post, Nora! While reading I had flashes of memories of my own...how people have helped me in the past. It's good to reflect on that, and then consider how I've helped others as well. Your book looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Maddie, it's wonderful when we can remember both. Funny how they make us feel happy, both kinds.
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of each year, I pledge to do one simple act of kindness every day. Reading your blog was a good reminder to be kind to others, especially in these times. Thank you.
