My apologies for not posting regularly every day. Anyone reading my mom blog will know that it's been pretty busy lately. I also haven't had the chance to go out much to find people in need of kindness. I have managed though to keep it up. It's really not difficult being nice to people, but sometimes it's hard to drag myself out of the house. Fortunately, I don't feel this tired often.
Tuesday I gave banana bread to my neighbour. It's been a while since I baked anything for anyone and it's one of my favourite things to do, so I figured it was time. I also hosted a play group for toddlers here. I want to make some friends for E (or at least familiar acquaintances, he's eighteen months old) and the meetup group I'm part of seems to have a serious lack of events planned. I don't consider it a kindness myself, because my door's always open to anyone who won't judge the state of my living room. People were so appreciative that I was willing to invite them here though, I guess it counts.
Yesterday I was at the convenience store and there was a kid who was about ten trying to reach a bottle of pop. Now I don't condone any children drinking pop, but i reserve judgment and let their own parents decide. He couldn't quite reach the one he wanted on the top shelf, so I helped him. It was a small kindness, but he thanked me. I was almost okay with giving him the pop because it's good to see manners in a child his age.
