A wonderful prayer morning. I prayed at home today and had a very deep and meaningful time. I went to work relaxed and clear headed.

Taking this Mitzvah on daily is really helping me become a more complete person and it gives me peace.



Practice random acts of kindness (read all 28 entries…)
A random act done for me 3 days ago

If you’ve read my entries, you will know that I always scan the horizon for an act of kindness to do.

Today, I had one done for me. My truck tire was very low. I pulled into a Walmart and checked it out. Darn, a nail!

I went into walmart and came out with a can of fix-a-flat. This would get me by for another week or so, when I could afford to do something about it.

While I am trying to get this to work, a man walks up and wants to know if I needed help. I declined. Hey, I’m a macho type and can handle things.

This gentleman keeps insisting he can fix it for good. No charge. He promised. I finally agreed. Next thing I know he has my truck jacked up with his jack, he took off the wheel, pulled out a nail remover and then plugged the hole just like I would have to pay a tire place to do. He then pulls out an elecric air pump and fills up the tire and also checks the pressure in all my other tires as well!

While he is doing this he is talking to me. He has been in prison, is a born again Christian and was layed off his job months ago. I tried to give him money for his efforts but he refused me several times. He said make a donation to my house of worship. I will.

What a great guy! I guess good things do come back around.

Cold, gray, cloudy weather. I love it. I love they way everything is gray. Gradients of gray actually.

Spent an entire hour at lunch, for once in a month.

Clouds broke on drive home, presenting a wonderful sunset.

Very chilly jump into the pool tonight. Water temp between 55 and 58. The rush you get when you hit the water is like nothing else.
