Sharing a story from Choosing to be Kind & what the result of this was:
Cosgroves – I chose kind when I chose not to respond to a snarky Facebook post.
Amy – Dad says you’re a kid Dave (re: Dave S. Birthday tomorrow)
Merry – I am in touch with Nina M. and pray for her daily. She’s in Canada and is worried about America.
Ivan – I choose kindness daily with drivers on the road.
Martha – Those of us who will never see 64 again agree with Ed!
Bonnie – Nurse was kind at Kaiser when she snuck me in to sit with Tom and Tami Ely while they waited for transport….that never showed up.
Susan W. – Happy pre Birthday Dave! Next year Medicare! I got mine March 1 and used it June 3!!!
Morgan – Ashleigh had a busy day so I hung out with Kendall to give her a little break. We brought her to see my Gramma and Uncle at The Springs. Seeing her face light up was so precious <3
Kari – I was patient and kind to my dental patients that really didn’t want to have their teeth cleaned. Probably the parents appreciated it more than they did.
Brian – I chose kind this week when I went to Rite-Aid this week to get rubbing alcohol to make our disinfecting wipes for the church. The sign said buy 2, get one free. I came to counter and cashier said there is a limit of only 1 per customer. She said she would give me the discount price. I was so confused, but it didn’t matter, I took the one big bottle and left the little ones there.
Sally – We loaned the neighbor eggs to make a special sauce. The result of this was he brought us over dinner! And now that he found out it’s Dave’s Birthday tomorrow, he’s bringing us over dinner again…because he loves us!
Martha – Our son invited us over to his house in NE Portland. We were able to spend some time with 3 year old Ada; watch our little extrovert as she talks to everybody in very adult language asking everyone what they are doing & their opinion about what they are doing. And this was a very wonderful time and a time of kindness actually.
Michele – I have some friends who are dealing with anxiety and depression and a few that unfortunately have cancer. So instead of sending them emails, I actually got them cards & sent them cards. People seem to enjoy that extra little something when you send a card.
Sally – I was really involved with the nursing staff when I was going through the situation with my brother. I wrote a Letter to the Editor of the local paper praising the hospital and the nurses. And I got a call and it’s going to go or be posted tomorrow in the Editorial Section of the local paper. Plus, we have sent numerous thank you notes to the nurses and we have gotten such lovely feedback from them with their appreciation for our appreciation of what they do.
