Six Words Saturday




Kind acts can make your day!



Last Saturday was Honey's homecoming. She organized all but the dinner reservations for 16 of her friends. Everyone met here and then the drivers took them to dinner and the dance. It was a nice thing for her to do but something that she didn't think twice about doing. All of the parents where very grateful that we opened up our home for pictures and a general meeting place, that was something I didn't think twice about.

I went to the mailbox today and along with the Loft coupon I've been waiting for (shopping is on today's agenda) was a card addressed to Honey and I from a name and address I was not familiar with. I opened it and this is what it said.

Honey & Shawn

Thank you for coordinating things for homecoming. I hope you can use this to take an afternoon and relax together.

There was a $15 Starbucks card in side! I swear people still shock the crap out of me all of the time! I know where Honey and I are sneaking off to tomorrow morning!

How very thoughtful of this Mom to take her time to write us a note and include a gift of gratitude! I so want to write a think you note for her thank you note!

I hope someone makes your today a little better or better yet you make someone else's a little better. I'm off to pay for someone's Route 44 at Sonic!



Happy Saturday Y'all!

Thanks for that reminder. Even a small kindness can go a long way, expecially if we pass it on.

that was very generous. i need to be better about thank you gifts and cards. I give them when I get gifts but sometimes I forget there are other occasions when they are appropriate too. honey is such a sweet girl!

That is very sweet! I love those RAK (random acts of kindness) moments. :)
We don't get them often enough, nor give them, in my case. I'm always SO stressed thinking about this or that. I need to take the time for that. :)

Very sweet indeed! Those are the moments that remind me not to give up on people completely.

Thanks for playing 6WS!

I agree with how "its the little things" that can make your day. Like when my wonderful friend, Shawn, was a head of me in line for a DDP fix @ Sonic & when I pulled up to pay the girl told me it was covered! What a way to make my day! Thanks Shawn! Love you!
