Last evening I learned that a friend of mine was having a rough day. Of course I texted her and at the end of our conversation I told her to relax with a good book and some wine. She informed me that she was out of wine. So when I went to her house today, I made sure I had some wine to give her. I also told her that all her hard work does not go unnoticed and how she has handled every bump in her life amazingly well. Then I realized that I have failed her as a friend. I see this friend most days of the week. Why have I not told her that I'm impressed with her ability to balance all the tasks life requires of her? I think we all do this. It's not until someone breaks that we take the time to tell them how much we love and appreciate them. Let's try to prevent people from feeling so unappreciated. We are quick to correct people when they are wrong or doing something we disagree with... why don't we be just as quick to point out things we see people doing correctly. Please let the people you care about know how much you appreciate them :)
Witnessed random act of kindness:
When my sister was at her piloxing class she grabbed a mat for herself as well as one for the instructor. The instructor didn't see who had done it but she was very grateful.
A smile for me:
There has been a lot on my mind lately as I have some concerns to think about right now. Someone left this comment for me on my facebook:
Reminds me of 2 Cor 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
I appreciate what you do Tracy!
I appreciate what you do Tracy!
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Never be hesitant to reach out to someone because it may be just what they need at that very moment.
Who did you make smile today?
