A random act of kindness

A child is all alone. She’s sitting on the curb at a bus station. And this girl is sobbing. A woman sees this child. She can tell she is in pain, and she decides to reach out. Even though this woman does not know this child, she goes to her to console her. She asks her what’s wrong.

Little did she know, this little girl has been missing for a week. This little girl has run away from her family. The family is at their wits end, doing everything they can to try and find her. The FBI knows the area where she is-but they have not found her yet.

Because this woman reached out to this child she did not know, she brought this missing child's case to a close. She convinced Onna to go to the police station and let them know she ran away from home.

Little did this woman know how important this move she made was reaching out to Onna. Hundreds of people have been praying for her, hoping that she would come home safely. And now she will.

I have this quote framed in my home:
“No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.” -Aesop

Even though I always try to lend a helping hand whenever I see it needed, I will, and I hope you do too, reach out; no matter how busy your life might be at that very moment. You never know how important that one small act of kindness is to hundreds of people on this Earth.

Onna and her mother, Ramona

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
