90 Days of Kindness Challenge :: Day Three

 

On 19 July 2010, I officially started the "90 Days of Kindness Challenge," hosted by Laura over at the wonderful blog, Along for the Ride.

I find myself joining this challenge, since I tend to look for what's wrong with the world, whether than what's right with it. 

I assess my personal life and think of ten things that are not going well, while simutaneously ignoring the ten things that are going fantasically awesome!!! (It takes a lot of energy out of me, I must say...)

My goal for this challenge is to actively recognize three things each day, no matter how small or trivial, that exude kindness.

How will I accomplish this goal?? Glad you asked!!!

• Right here on my blog, I will recognize three kind things that I encounter each day.
• These proofs of kindness could be anything, from a kind word I hear at home from my children or husband to something amazingly kind that I encounter on the blogosphere or web.  These kindness encounters could be a picture, word, or deed.

I am so excited about this challenge!! I am definitely looking forward to the benefits of opening my eyes to everything that is kind!!!

1. My baby's smile - so innocent.  So perfect.  So genuine.

Mary Elizabeth's Day One Kindness Encounters:

1. My son, Elijah, tenderly gazed at me this morning and said with a smile, "Mama, you're beautiful!".

3. The opportunity of this challenge!
