Kindness with the Doctor
Dr. P visits PapayaCare usually on Sundays and consults with residents of PapayaCare and writes prescriptions when needed.
I gave him pen/pencil holder with quote card attached with pens and some cut papers. He wanted to have his photo with me. I posed with him.
My daily kindness goes on as usual.
I am grateful to Sri Sathya Sai Baba for all the opportunities sending my way and His help and guidance to manifest them.

Good Neighbors
While visiting my parents, one evening there was a huge commotion of fire trucks down the street and we learned later that it took 11 fire trucks to put out a huge fire which destroyed the home and left it uninhabitable. This home was on the next block over. Fortunately the young dad and two children escaped from harm and no one was hurt. The mom was on her way back from work. We saw the black smoke in the air, burnt embers falling from the sky in our yard, and prayed that the family was ok. The next morning, my mom and our neighbor went over to give gift cards and cash to a lady who was collecting things to help the family. She said that she was overwhelmed with how much the whole neighborhood had stepped up to help this family---so much kindness overflowing from people who signed ... Read Full Story >>

Letters To Podcast speakers
I thought I would mention that the author of the book suggested the reader try and do something different as an act of kindness.
Today, as I was walking, I interacted with the people I met on the path. I find it's something which comes naturally and as I was walking I thought about what I could do today which doesn't always come naturally. i thought about a podcast I regularly listen to and when I got home, I checked it out and a new episode was available so I listened to it and by the end I'd decided to write a letter (by hand) to the two speakers.
I've done it and will post it tomorrow. I've thanked them for the words of wisdom which come from the podcast.

Kindness While Shopping By Distributing Quote Cards
Kindness While shopping.
I always try to have some quotes Cards with me while I go for shopping. Yesterday I gave quote cards to the shoppers wherever I shopped.
While in the shop, I do not give quotes directly to other customers. I do take permission from the shopper or give the quote cards to shopper to give to the customers. I gave some quote cards to shopper to give them to couple of customers. Both ladies liked them. I gave bunch of them and offered to send them provided they give me mailing address. She gave me the mailing address trusting me. I thanked them. I will communicate with her and send them quote cards. I am grateful to them,

Volunteer Meeting In The State Park
I get to go to a volunteer meeting in the state park today. So nice to share time with people giving their time for the good of nature. Our park is low impact, so no pets, no bikes, no camping, just a place to marvel at all beautiful things.

Our Kind Neighbor
Almost every Friday one of our neighbor-friends brings us over a full course home-cooked dinner. She likes to cook for others when she cooks her Friday meals for her family & she “adopted” us, lol.
Yesterday she let us know she’d had a very busy week & wouldn't be bringing dinner over because she was exhausted & wasn’t cooking. She actually apologized! That’s just how kind a person she is!! We assured her we understood, no apology needed!
Told her to rest.
We sent her this today:
β€οΈ “Happy March. Hope you're feeling rested from your busy week. We would love to make you dinner but (as you know) our kitchen isn't kosher......and.....we don't cook! However, we would appreciate it if you took another day of rest and ordered in from your favorite restaurant. We would be happy to pay for the meal. Itv would be a blessing for us to start the new month that way.”
We hope she accepts π«Άπ½

π Book Giveaway
π ο»ΏSo I had a good idea this morning re giving away my surplus of books….
Now whenever anyone comes to our door, I will tell them I’m giving away books & if they are interested I ask them what genre of books they like.
Just now our new mailman came…he told me he likes mysteries. I told him I’d have a few for him next time he delivers our mail.
I already have a few ready for him π
It’s fun & they can pay it forward too π

At The Supermarket
I've been knitting some gifts as presents so today I'm putting the finishing touches to the gifts ready to give people at the appropriate time.
however, today's kind act was very simple - I was in the supermarket and was using a basket as there didn't seem to be any trolleys available. I joined the queue for a staffed till and put the basket on the floor in front of me. Another lady joined the queue and I could see she was agitated. She told me she went to her hairdresser who was drying somebody's hair so she said she would nip to the supermarket. As I wasn't in a rush, I told her she could go in front of me. She was so grateful for such a simple gesture.

π₯ Eggzactly
π₯ Due to the high price of eggs here now, our local store is charging $12 for a dozen eggs! ….Large food suppliers are charging much less because they buy in bulk.
I’m able to buy a dozen extra large eggs from Fresh Direct for $7 a dozen now, which is more than we had been paying in the very recent past.
π₯ When I heard my neighbor say “I guess we will have to be eating less eggs” I offered to order a dozen for them with my upcoming weekly grocery delivery from Fresh Direct.
When the eggs were delivered today I told them we didn’t want them to pay us for them, but to pay it forward ππ»
I will let them know that I’d be glad to order eggs for them, as needed. They are simply wonderful longtime neighbors & we feel blessed to have them right next door β€οΈ

My First Kind Act In My Personal Challenge
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about a book I'd borrowed from my local library about kindness. I've dipped in and out of it and I'm going to renew it during the coming week so I can read more. At the end, the author makes a suggestion to challenge yourself to do at least one kind act every day for seven days and if you feel so inspired to continue to make it a 21 day challenge. I enjoyed the recent 21 day challenge in kindness hosted by janfour so this is my way of continuing that challenge. I thought about starting on Monday but today I had the opportunity to begin so I did. I went into a local shop to buy a small set of drawers to put small items in so I'm less likely to lose them. I found a small set of four drawers and took them ... Read Full Story >>

A Weekend Full Of Kindness
A member of a greyound group I'm a part of posted that she unexpectedly lost her hound during a routine dental procedure last week. I'm shocked and gutted to say the least, and that's nothing compared to what she is experiencing. To honor her pup I made a donation to the amazing folks at Greyhound Rescue Australia -- they're wonderful people that do incredible work with rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing greyhounds from the race tracks, so they may live the couch-potato lives they deserve. Got another package in the mail to Ukraine for my friend 'i'. Packed with special gifts I got for her and his family while I was in Hawaii earlier this month. Unfortunately the box was not large enough, but that means I can get another one in the mail soon with more goodies and special requests :) Sent words of encouragement, affirmation, and love to a family member ...

Sponsored A Childβs Education
We have sponsored a child's education through the Sylvia Wright Trust for about 20 years. The first one was a girl who is 18 months younger than our daughter and went on to train as a nurse when she left the school. We agreed to take on a boy who will be 12 in April and today, I sent a package of craft items for him and his class mates. It fills me with joy to find and post something lovely to the school and this was a different form of kindness.
