As the Dawn Breaks…..so did my attitude

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

As I got up with a little attitude today 🙂 , I looked out the window and saw the dawn breaking …..and today, it felt different.  Why? I don’t know? Was it because it was completely dark when I got up and I am witnessing the day getting lighter and brighter?  Was a revelation coming that I am about to receive?  I don’t know…….

First, I’m sick and tired – no, literally, I don’t feel well and I am exhausted and my normal sleeping like a baby routine was interrupted by an hour and half of being awake and no way getting back to sleep ?  And let me note, I LOVE my sleep so when there is some interruption, I’m not particularly happy.  🙂

But as I saw the dawn starting to break in my little attitude, a thought hit me…….it’s a start of another day and I GET TO BE IN IT, a part of it and simply put……. I woke up!  I don’t want the alternative, not at this point in my life as I am living each day to the fullest and enjoying the smallest of occurrences.

As many times throughout my life and especially through certain circumstances, I chose to think on the positive things, the things that encourage, lift up and the blessings I have versus what I don’t have. Believe me, it works even if you have to dig in and think of the blessings you have 🙂

So, thought for my day……another day……another blessing!

Make it a great day – that’s my prayer for you!

Time for a laugh!

YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!

Just click on the link above!  First – I do NOT own the rights to this video.  It has been all over Facebook, however, I will say that this video is hilarious!  If anyone knows me, I love to laugh and find humor in all that I can and this video certainly brought laughter!

I had to share it with all of you as well – not only because it’s hilarious – but also because it parallels so much of the human nature in all of us!

I will make this blog short and sweet – we all have a human nature side that when we get caught in doing something we shouldn’t, we want to “slide” as smoothly as we can out of the pool AND try not to be noticed. (figuratively speaking of course!) .

Before he got caught, he was about as happy as a lark -lol- doing his own thing but ALSO knew he should not be where he was when his owner saw him!

Doesn’t that parallel our human nature?

Going one step further, don’t we have the tendency to “bark” back when we have done something wrong or have missed the mark?

I don’t know about you, but I think that this video says so much and is elegantly or hilariously portrayed by man’s very own best friend – a dog 🙂

I hope you all have a laugh and a smile that stays with you! 🙂

Tit for Tat

/ Kelly Savage / 1 Comment

Ok, I admit it, the title “Tit for Tat” just jumped in my head!  And this blog isn’t exactly about tit for tat.  It popped in my head and I went for it 🙂

Actually it’s a blog about a random act of kindness.  A lot of us have done them, received them and we have certainly read about them and saw videos on them.  Personally, I love them.

It changes the normal atmosphere that we have around us.  We could all be just sitting there and all of a sudden, a random act of kindness is done on us or one we witness and, BAMN!, our atmosphere just got lighter, possibly more happy and possibly effect us big time!

That’s what happened to me.  My husband and I were enjoying a little dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.  We were facing towards the outside and people watching (one of my favs) 🙂 and enjoying each other’s company.

My husband told me that the owner/manager of the restaurant had helped him carry out a water heater from the store just the other day.  As we sat there, that same man pulled up and was unloading his car with very heavy items of all sort.

I witness my husband, as he quickly said “I will be right back” and left his meal on the table.  My husband proceeded to go outside and help them carry the heavy items with them.  There, he was met with smiles, thank yous and that changing atmosphere became very real…..not only in them, but my husband as well.  It was very clear that it touched my heart as I just fell in love with my husband again, at that moment.

Acts of kindness are game changers.  Before you know it, that owner/manager was bringing us some free treats which, of course, if you know my husband, he absolutely loves most foods 🙂 and he certainly enjoyed those treats that day! 🙂

Random acts of kindness?  They can truly be the changing force we so need in the world we live.

Let’s take a moment to think on those acts.  Let’s start at home.  What can we do for those right around us today?

Bottom line:  Let’s be what we want to see in the world 🙂

 

Let’s shoot for making this Monday Momentous !!
