Well
hello and very much a very good morning to you, my little monkey socks.
Right deep breath in everyone . . .and hold it . . . keep holding it . .
. and breathe out and relax. Maybe finish it off with a new big stretch
and a good shake . . . Sorry, I was a little distracted by the thought
of you stretching there. Am I the only one who finds the act of
stretching a little bit, you know, *hushed tone* sexy? Sorry. Right,
where was I? . . . Ah yes! You can't beat a good shake after a big
stretch you know! No really! You should try it!
Well, a brand
spanking new Thursday (Friday Eve) has arrived with us. Just a thought,
why do people describe stuff as being brand "spanking" new? . . . No? . .
. No, me either! Maybe it's a childbirth related thing because you used
to have to slap them when they come out. Do they still do that?
Although that always seemed a bit harsh to me. "Hello new person welcome
to the world that you are going to live in for the rest of your life,
let's make the first thing that happens to you a swift slap!" I know why
they do it, it just seems a little unkind that it had to be the babies
first experience of the world. It seems to me that a persons first
experience of the world should be a little kinder.
Which does
bring me on rather nicely for a change to what I wanted to talk about
today. R.A.K or Random Acts of Kindness. You see I don't claim to be
able to change the world, but I do claim, that if we all did tiny things
to make other peoples life seem a little better, together we actually
could. You see it doesn't take much to do something kind or a little bit
thoughtful. It just needs to be enough to make the person it's aimed at
think "Aww, that was nice" So really it could be anything! If someone
in the house has come downstairs and has just announced they have
forgotten something they want to bring down, offer to nip upstairs and
get it. Or if they have just sat down, leap up and ask if they want a
brew?
Of course it works even better if the person you are
doing it for is a complete stranger. Just give up your place in the
shopping queue to let them go first. (So long as they don't have a
stacked trolley full obviously, that would be foolish) Hold a door open
for someone. Or if you're at a car park, offer to pay for the person
behind you in the queue for the ticket machine (If you have a spare 80p
or £1.20. Or if you're out, offer to buy the bar tender a drink. Or at a
restaurant make the tip a little more than you would do normally. There
are literally hundreds of tiny little things we can do for other people
to make them think "Awww, that was nice!". Even if you think they look
grumpy and look like they don't deserve it, those are probably the
people who need it the most I reckon.
You see if we all did
that, the world would be a much nicer place, people would smile more,
people would be more friendly. It would also have a knock on effect and
it would make people want to do something small and nice for another
person too, because they know how they felt when it happened to them. So
as you can see a little bit of thoughtfulness and nice goes an awful
long way.
So I hope this Friday Eve, treats you well. Do look
after yourselves and each other (haven't said that for a while!) and go
and do something tiny, but nice for someone else.
LARGE CARL HUGS to you all.
