I have a bad habit...

when I'm blog hopping, of going through my list of links in alphabetical order. So if your name starts with A through C -- I think I visit you pretty often. D through M -- not as much, but more often than others. N through Z -- I neglect you more than I should! I need to change that, don't I? :)

On another note --

I was just sitting here watching the "Idol Gives Back" show that I taped (yes, I said taped...we still use a VCR in this house!) last night. Watching these types of shows, it amazes me how sometimes a very small amount of money can really make a huge difference in some places. And when you think about each of us giving a small amount of money to help others -- it can add up to big amounts. We all know there is no shortage of places/people/organizations that need our help.

As I mentioned yesterday, I decided to start posting my Random Act of Kindness prompts again -- just every now and then. So here's a prompt for this week.


Give some spare change to someone in need or to a charitable organization this week or next. Donate something to a local daycare, school or shelter that may be in need. If it's not money -- donate something you don't use or need anymore. Go fill a bag at the grocery store full of canned goods and donate it to a local food bank. I think all of us can spare some change, can't we? Get your kids involved -- have them give a quarter or a dollar from their bank. I think every little bit helps.

Perhaps you all do these things already without my prompts, but if you're anything like me -- my intentions are often good, but the getting it done often takes longer than I would like. I need to be more consistent with it -- and I'm hoping putting it in writing on my blog will be a good way to remind myself!

That's all from me today -- I have a lot to do and I am not getting much done. Some days are just like that.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

I have to laugh, Rita because I do the same thing with my blog list sometimes. I try to reverse it occasionally like Nancy said :0)

That AI episode really hit me hard. I just didn't realize how hard some of these families have it.
Makes me appreciate the life and conveniences I have!

I was going to say the same thing, maybe switch every other day-start from the top one day, then the next start from the bottom, lol! Hope you're doing well! Love the pics from the other day, too.
