I am feeling Fall'tastic!

"Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." 

Henry James

Be kind.  Such a simple concept, isn't it?  Yet, so many of us go about our day without doing a single kind thing.  Trust me, I get it.  We have bad days, we are only human.  Now, a bad day is not an excuse to be unkind, is it?  No, it most certainly is not.  There are individuals fighting a much harder battles than ours.  There are individuals whose life are much more difficult and yet they still manage to smile, to be filled with hope, and cheer.

I work for an amazing organization with an even greater mission to help the world at large.  Every day I am shown how fortunate I am.  Every day I find that I could, I should , be a little more grateful.  Therefore, I have made a conscious decision to be a little more kind to everyone.  You see, it doesn't take much.  It hardly takes anything at all.  Today I decided to do something extra kind.  You know, go out of my way to make someone other than me happy.

Our department is gearing up for the fourth quarter at work.  This means that meetings, upon meetings, upon meetings, are upon us.  That is where the goody bag idea came from.  I wanted to do something a little extra, something to bring a smile to each one of my co-workers.  It was simple.  Just a bag with pumpkin caramel latte hand sanitizer, some chocolate, and a card.  Upon handing out a goody bag for each one of the women, I looked up to face a room full of smiles, mission accomplished.  Their happiness was contagious.  It warmed my heart. 

I'm cheesy, I know.  I am a big, big, big, ball of cheese and I love it.  Here is to a fall'tastic week!  Oh, and if you are wondering, yes, I used fall'tastic in those cute little cards, boom!
