Two-a-day

Since I have been sick I have a new appreciation for simple things. It may sound funny but I think that my illness may have increased and even improved my life in some ways. Sure, I don't feel good, so I have to try harder to find ways to feel better.

Being goal driven I turned my strength into positive and wrote some new goals. One of the first was that I was going to do something nice for two people today. Just random kindness, often a stranger. Sometimes a neighbor or friend but always at least two a day.

Sounds hard, not really! It can be as simple as helping someone load their groceries, or open the door for them. I find that the days I do more than 2 nice, random acts of kindness the health seems better. Maybe it is all in my head but hey I will take anything I can get.
