My Resolution Going Forward

My resolution going forward is code name B-1 (Blessings 1,000). I am not calling this a New Year thing....just a regular thing.

My goal...3 additional blessings a day to a friend, a loved one, or a stranger….Do the math! In a year, the total could exceed 1,000!

One Act of Kindness

Let someone cut ahead of you in line at the store.
Give that car ahead/along side of you the benefit of the doubt.
Stand up for someone that is the target of a negative remark.
Pay for a service person's meal.
Surprise your family or coworkers with something special.

One Unseen Work

Put away a toy your kid left out.
Pick up a piece of trash that is not yours.
Refrain from criticizing or from making a negative comment.
Pass up that close parking spot for that person in your mirror.

One Gift of Encouragement

Take time to listen and encourage someone.
Send someone an encouragement or appreciation note (even a text message).
Write a thank you note to a mentor.
