Noticing Even The Smallest Gesture
I spent the night at my parents' house because my mom has multiple myeloma (a very rare cancer). I was there to offer my support and loving-kindness.
The next morning, I got up to go for my 7:00 AM swim, and, as I was walking down the steps past the Sunday newspaper, I stopped suddenly and became thoughtful. I took the newspaper back up to the house and placed it on the kitchen counter where my parents like to read the paper.
Later, when I returned from my swim, my mom replied, "Your dad said an angel brought us our paper today." It's such a small thing, but I went into the bathroom and cried, for I know my mom has precious little life ahead.

A Loving Surprise
I used my first smile card which I received in the mail today. I decided to write my husband a note of gratitude for his extra love and support. I posted the note to our front door with a Smile Card. When he gets home from work a surprise note will be waiting for him at the front door!!
