be more thoughtful

this includes remembering (writting down first) birthdays and occasions and always getting a card and a small and thoughtful gift were appropriate(something a little different rather than a petrol station special) and also trying to do something nice for friends and family unexpectedly occasionally

I am not too sure why I find this one so difficult…I think well of others…I just tend not to act on it…must be my fear of rejection…I really need to do some work on this area.

I have a sweet friend who is going through Chemo (again) and I really want be there for her.

I am still working on being more thoughtful. I haven’t been feeling too well and it is hard to be nice when your hurting.
But -I have emailed a note of encouragement to a new acquaintance from bible study who is going through a failing marriage. I also have been trying to do little extras for family like washing up others dishes and such. I called my grandmother and chatted for hours -not easy as I HATE talking on the phone, but it made her very happy. Also, I am collecting some happies to send my daughter at college.
I want thoughtful actions to just come naturally -become habit. Hopefully one day!

i want to be able to think of others and let them know that i am thinking about them. Its all about making others feel good even if oits a simple compliment that unkowingly brightens someones day up. I have a friend like this and it does make u feel really good to get a small text message saying have a great day.

I think about being thoughtful fairly often, but unfortunately it is usually when I can’t do what I am thinking (and when I can, I forget) I’ve really got to get better. I want to share joy and love and general goodwill (mush, mush, mush, mush)
There are so many opportunities, I’ve just got to recognize them & take action. A cup of ice water offered when it is hot, a have a nice day phone call, a happy note in my daughters’ notebook, cleaning up a mess I didn’t make, giving up the best parking space, ...

I’m a self-centered 20-something trying to figure my life out. So naturally I need to work on this. Some people seem to have a knack for remembering the little things. I am a caring and sincere person, but can be a little absent minded. So my big goal is to be more thoughtful about the small things.

Here are a few things I’m working on:
calling home once a week
send my little sister notes in the mail about once a month
keeping track of birthdays in my calendar so I don’t forget

I just want to be overall better about random acts of kindness, etc.

I need more ideas!

I try to do this, but I want to stay mindful.

I am geting out thank yous for everyone who help me get my house ready for the home tour. (So many people really helped so much -I am so blessed!) Goal -have then all in the mail or hand delivered by this coming Monday.

I feel this deep need to express myself. Time to break barriors and shine. What will the new creation be?????
