No complaints: Day 26

It is 9:30pm

Today was better than yesterday...but I still failed miserably when it came to no complaining.

I need remind myself first thing in the morning that I CANNOT COMPLAIN, and maybe I will be more mindful throughout the day...maybe.

Although, all in all, I do think my complaining has decreased as a whole since I started 26 days ago.

Anyways, like I said, today was better than yesterday. Yesterday was a hard day.

But I have another milestone headed my way fullspeed and straight ahead...and it is not a good one...

So please keep sending those positive thoughts and prayers. I will surely need them.

Today I had an early shift at work, so I came home, grabbed the kids and went for a hike.

We crossed another walking trail off our list from Central Florida, and I think we may have made it to 5 miles today...but I'm not 100% sure because my phone battery was dying, so I had to turn off my charity miles app.

But we did have a pretty decent time. There were a few melt downs, but everyone was excited when we made it back to the car..lol...so I will call it a win.

Alright, I know I post my acts of kindness on Instagram, and Facebook, and you can also find them on www.loveelijah.com; But I am getting ready to start self publishing a few more books focusing on kindness-- and I wanted to start adding kindness back into this blog, so I am going to start adding them to the blog as well.

I will still be blogging daily about being a grieving mom to Elijah, but I want to start incorporating more about the acts of kindness that I do in his memory as well!

With that being said, today's act of kindness in memory of Elijah was to leave a little basket of free ponytail holders in the ladies' restroom at work.

Within an hour of doing so, someone had taken all the really good hair ties and left the "crummy" ones...lol...

But as someone mentioned, "maybe they needed them."

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But you can't let someone's eagerness to treat themselves stop you from being kind...

So I purchased just a few more ponytail holders today, and perhaps I will change my sign to say "take one when you need it" ;)

Oh my sweet sweet boy.

You are my sunshine.

Thank you for all your sunbeams you send me.

I feel them kiss my cheek.

But I miss you more than ever.

Momma loves you boogie.

Always
