I think they are great....Now I haven't posted anything about my acts and as I previously said, it's not a requirement to post anything about it...it's just if you want to you can....or just keep the ball rolling and remind others about Everyday Kindness. As I said I haven't posted anything about my acts, but there is something that I am really working on. That is to make peace with my husbands ex. It has been a bit of a struggle to say the least....but at the end of the day, the thing that really matters are the children. So for example today, I sent her a little note and some pictures of the adventures the boys had out here for Christmas. She sent me an email back thanking me for the photos....I in turn responded to her, expanding on some of the things she said in her email and told her that we would stay in contact. I thought that was a positive step, one that I am proud of.
Now onto something funny......hubby sent me the funniest email titled "You might be Canadian" it's a variation of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a Redneck" It truly made me giggle.....so Canadian friends I hope it makes you laugh and the rest of you.....well.....who knows....you might be Canadian.......

That's a tough one, RN. I have a hard time talking about kindness. If feels like I'm bragging when I do. I guess for me, the best way to promote kindness is by example.
TC you are so right.....kindness is something we should all strive to do instinctively everyday...but sometimes we just need a little reminder to be a little kinder, patient and tolerant. I think that is what Claudia is hoping to accomplish.....
It's so nice how you are trying with your husband's ex - it really works because my son's partner made the first move with his ex and now they are kinda friendly which is great for my grandsons.
I'll take one of the everyday kindness badges for my blog to remind me. Thankyou. xxx
I hate to admit there is an element of truth in those. Although they don't apply to the west coast, right?
Anyway, haven't visited in a long time and I am glad I dropped by.
Kindness should come from the heart.
I real like your Canucks humor I can relate too.
I've even told people who isn't or know much about cold weather area about our dog sleds.
Keep up the kindness.
LOL! I think the Canada jokes are funnier than the redneck jokes.
I received that e-mail about the cold only in place of Canada it said Michigan......there almost one and the same place weather wise, eh?
Kindness is something we should all attemtp every day........sometimes it's just giving a smile to someone who seems to have misplaced theirs. Great post and hugs my friend!
'If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter,and road construction, you may live in Canada.' - Yay! I live in CANADA!
These were great!
Nothing wrong at all with practicing
"Random Acts of Kindness." I like to think I do try to do that - not always a full success,but I don't go out of my way to be obnoxious unless it is about politics maybe. LOL
The Canada jokes - I've received that numerous times only it is about Pennsylvania and here, the one about the potholes really is pretty much the truth!
ahh don't live in canada but found it funny and insightfull heck some of that could be used for my home state;)
