Today's Affirmation:  "Today I will treat others with kindness." OR "Today, I will be a blessing to others."

We may not think about it every day, we may not think about it ever, but we DO make a difference in the lives of others.

Sometimes, just one kind word or a smile or a positive reaction or patience or tolerance, or NOT saying the harsh words that are on the tip of our tongues can make a huge difference in someone else's life.

We are mistaken if we believe that our existence has no impact on others.  Everything we do and say has an impact, one way or another.

Maybe the nasty lady at the Walmart checkout has had a horrible day, and that's why she is less than pleasant.  Maybe your good nature, your smile, your wishing her a good day will turn it all around for her.

Maybe the complaining, customer at your register or on the other end of the phone line had a really bad experience and is unjustly taking it out on you.  Instead of giving tit-for-tat, as my mother used to say, your pleasant attitude and kind voice can soothe the that savage beast.

Maybe the kindness you show another person today will be the only act of kindness that that person will experience today.

There is so much discontent in the world, so much bitterness and anger, do we really want to play into that?  Do we really want to pass on our misery and sarcasm and meanness to others?  NO.

Yes, yes, yes.  I know, I know.  You've had a bad day and are in a bad mood.  You're tired and cranky.  You have a lot on your mind.  You have issues.  BUT by shifting our discontent into kindness to others not only makes a difference to them...it makes a difference to US. 

It's amazing how just going out of our way to offer a smile or kind word can help to lift our bad mood. 

Remember, we get what we give out.  So, if we give out misery and sarcasm and meanness, that is what we will get.  If we give out kindness, then that is what we will get in return.

So, today, make a special effort to smile, to say, "Have a good day!", to return gentleness for harshness or to hold back scathing words.  See if it doesn't make a difference in YOUR day.

Have a day filled with blessings and smiles and kind words. 

Love and Light,

Robin
