Gratitude - Random Act of Kindness

I was at the grocery store tonight, expecting it to be crazy packed, but it wasn't (gratitude for that too!) to pick up a few things, and to get some money for the farmer's market on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I suppose because it was close to closing, the cashier handed me a $50 bill, which is way too big to bring to the farmer's market (I would feel so bad for asking them to accept it for 50 cents in green onions or something!).  I asked if she didn't have anything smaller, and she said she couldn't even give me twenties, because she was so low.

I was trying to figure out how this was going to work, when the lady behind me said, "I can give you change!" and proceeded to do so!  Very thankful for that random act of kindness!

I'm going to keep an eye out this weekend for an opportunity to pay it forward. :)

So...what random act of kindness can you do today?

Joy Wonder and Gratitude - Helicopter Rides

Joy Wonder and Gratitude - Being in the right place at the right time, to go on my very first helicopter ride with Women in Aviation.  Very cool, and surprisingly smooth!



Gratitude - Healthy Yummy Food!

I came across this channel on YouTube today.  It's called Sweet Potato Soul:




I'm not a vegan, but I love finding recipes to help me to eat more fruit and veggies.  Plant-based vegan recipes are often a great source!  This channel so far has a lot of yummo recipes, including the breakfast recipes in this link.  Healthy and delicious breakfast recipes make me grateful!!!

Wonder - Beautiful Walks

Gratitude - Christmas With Family


I don't have a lot of family, but what I do have I'm very grateful for.  This was a beautiful Christmas Day breakfast, complete with fresh fruit and cheese, creamy avocados, cinnamon raisin toast and hot buttery croissants. :)

Joy - Tears Are Not Enough

Joy - This wonderful song, which has always been my favourite of the 3 "Do They Know It's Christmas/We Are the World/Tears Are Not Enough" videos from 1985, which were written and performed to aid people starving in Ethiopia.

It's also a joy to hear and see it again, plus the 80s fashions.  And Cory Hart.  Let's not forget Cory Hart!

Joy - Snaughling




Gratitude - Big Red Squishy Booth

I went for lunch with my sister today, and the place we went, we were seated in a big red squishy cushioned booth that was meant for 6 people.  It was so big and so comfy that I commented on how we could lie down for a snooze, at the exact same time as my sister said it.  So of course I had to prove it and lie down and test it out!
