When was the last time you did something special for your spouse, kids, Mom, Dad, siblings, in laws, or best friend? No special occasion required, just a small, kind gesture out of the blue that said "I care . . ." As part of my effort to be more mindful of my daily actions and reactions, I am striving to be kinder and nicer to loved ones. Alas, crabby moments do rear their ugly little heads - it is not possible to be perfectly cheerful and happy 24-7, but I do my best to limit cranky episodes, and I am working a little harder to offer simple, sincere gestures that show a genuine sense of affection. There are so many possibilities - for instance, offering to run an errand, take care of the kids, pick up the dry cleaning, do the grocery shopping, give a small gift of flowers, suggest a surprise dinner date . . . you get the picture, whatever would please loved ones.
I intend to 'Do Something Spontaneously Nice For A Loved One', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count with 'daily resolves'. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.
