#ThankfulActs Challenge: Take Notice of Quiet Service

It is often easy to notice when we are the recipient of service--although some times, we might not fully appreciate what is done in our behalf.  (We will talk about some of those times later in the month.) How often do we see the little acts of kindness that are quietly performed for others?

Today's challenge is to look around and see kindnesses done for others, and to take the time to thank the person.  Perhaps you will see a young mother very patiently talking to her child in the store. Perhaps you will notice a daughter taking her older mother to the doctor's office.  Whatever it is, take time to notice and express thanks.  

I love to hear how the challenges are going, but please be patient with me in responding to comments.  I'm going to schedule some posts to publish over the next couple of days, but my online time is going to be limited.  This grandma is going to have her grandchildren stay here for a few days.  We will have fun, and I am really hoping we will have sleep at nights.  Wish me luck!  :-)

    1. Sleep is good. They actually didn't wake up in the night very much at all, thankfully.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
