Everyone needs things in their lives to look forward to. I think that's why God gives us kids & grandkids (sports, birthdays, more grandkids etc....) Are you looking forward to the Royal Wedding on Friday? Having any parties? Well I figured out the day...I cant find the time because I dont understand the BBC time frames. I googled it and everything...so Im resorting to asking my mom...she still reads the paper. I do remember watching Princess Diana's (who's the guy she married? Thats ok no one remembers him anyway) wedding. I cant remember what time my mom and I watched it in the morning yet I dont think it was 3am like the PLT time whatever that means.
So lets see...ok Royal Wedding, Mothers Day, my daughter is visiting me from Alaska in May, I am going to a realtors staging course in Anaheim in May..Ok what for June? I dont know, yet in July there is my 30 year class reunion (already bought the hot dress..LOL). In August is my 48th birthday (August babies are the best!) Beyond that I'll have to wait and see...So all you sport lovers have the basketball games and playoffs (does basketball ever not have a season..it seems like it goes on and on..its about as boring as a tennis match). Also Baseball season....and I do love baseball. I used to have my boyfriend take a mit to the Anaheim Angels games because I didnt want to get hit by the baseball...(thats in the A's not in the LA Angels...please...)
The HOA cut down the ornamental tree outside of my kitchen window yesterday! I loved seeing the little birds in the morning as they would sing to me when I was making my coffee. This is a result of getting the landscaping upgraded 4 years ago to Palm trees & tropical plants. It has been 4 years...what was up with that? I got home and yelled..JASON! (He works for the Contractor who built these homes)..Anyway no use, the tree is gone now and gotta have that million dollar view...but I loved my little birds...
So here are some things I've learned and do in my life...as random acts of kindness:
A) When someone at the department store asks me if I would like to open an account I say "No thank you, yet thank you for asking me..(those poor kids probably get nasty negative looks and they are only doing their job)
B) I always sign my paycheck and then write Thank You on the front..I've learned this from a story about a professor who loved to teach so much..that when he passed away they found 5 years of uncashed checks in his desk.
C) When someone has a heart for hospitality and asks me if I would like something to eat, or share coffee etc I have learned to say yes..when you take the time to slow down..you meet some very wonderful people. I was doing an open house in a 55+ mobile home park and this little old couple asked me if I wanted to see their home also as it was for sell. I said Yes..when I looked at their home they asked me if I wanted some coffe..I said Yes..so we all sat down, shared stories..and they prayed for me.
D) I wave at everyone and say hi to everyone I pass...people are strange though about 3/4 are so untrusting they dont even say hi...interestingly all of the children wave, smile and say hi.
E) I open the door for people and if its a man I let him get the door (ok its old fashioned but I think they feel good) or if you are a man..open the door!
F) If you see people on the beach using a metal detector...throw your loose change out there and when they come back they get so excited..LOL..my crazy friend and I used to do that at Avila Beach..
So here are my tips for the day...see ya next time. Have a blessed day & enjoy your families this Easter.
Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there in no law".
