Kindspring Anniversary


--by terre, posted Feb 10, 2016
After reading about Kate's anniversary with KindSpring, I decided to figure out when I first joined. I looked through some saved emails and realized that the first challenge I participated in was a 21-day Kindness challenge that started Oct. 1, 2014, so I get that is my anniversary.

However, upon reflecting further, I knew that I hadn't jumped into the community feed then. That happened after I participated in the 21-days of Simple Living challenge that started Jan. 11, 2015.

So I'm not sure if I should count my anniversary as Oct. 1, 2014 or Jan. 11, 2015. In either case, being here reading and writing about kindness and love and helping others -- all this has contributed to me being a better human being. And for that I am very grateful.

Thank you all for being in my life and for helping me find and be kindness more and more every day.

The photo below is one I took. It's near Mendenhall Glacier outside Juneau, Alaska. I love how the puddle of water is reflecting the beauty around it. Just as I am reflecting the beauty here.

I had actually forgotten the exact date, but knew it had been about a year, so emailed the KS.org folks, they can look up the exact date. I was only about a week and a half off. I actually joined January 6, 2015 and posted about it on Jan. 15 this year! We are so very glad that you are, too, and wish you a very happy KS ANNIVERSARY!
