Today's Quote.....I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
Be kind to someone today. Make them feel good, either about, how they look, what they have done or how they make a difference in your life.
A few kind words may mean nothing to you but will go a long way with them.
This reminds me of a story.......
Years ago a new family had just moved into our neighbourhood and I decided to bake some muffins and take them to them to welcome them.
I made blueberry muffins with frozen blueberries. If you have done this yourself you realize that you have to put the berries in just, and I mean just before you put them in the oven. If you don't, as I learned, they turn all the dough blue!!!! After they are baked it gives them this blue tinge that tends to look like they may have been around a little too long.
Well this happened to my muffins but since I decided that I was going to give them and I didn't have time to make more. My two little boys were probably up and running by now and wanting to get to the park or something. So I made the decision to take them over. I gave them to 'the lady of the house' and welcomed her to the neighbourhood. She smiled and thanked me. Later when we became friends she told me about her showing them to her husband when he came home and them being a bit skeptical about eating them because of the color. She said they decided to try them anyway, and they enjoyed them!!!!
We laughed about this a few times.... the potentially crazy, but kind neighbour.
I continued to bake for new neighbours and friends, but must say never chose blueberry after that!!!!!!
