Day 99 of Thanksgiving....

99/266

Today I am so very Thankful for Mitzvahs! I have been reading a book entitled 1,000 Mitzvahs ~ How Small Acts of Kindness Can Heal, Inspire and Change Your Life. I am so inspired by this book and don't be mislead by the title - you don't need to be Jewish to gain from this. The author used her pain from loosing her father to inspire this book and it's actions. We can all do the same within our own lives in our own way. The book is just an impetus, an inspiration and believe me, we all gain from doing simple Mitzvahs! Kindness and love are what life is all about and I wish I had known this so many years ago. Sometimes we have no idea how important small things done with love and kindness can be.

Days

1/364 For years I worked in an office at a desk and one of the company supplied tools was a desk calendar. It was the kind with one page for each day and at the end of the day, that page would be torn off. In the bottom right corner of the page were two numbers with a slash between them. I was fascinated with these numbers - they represented the numerical place that day held in the 365 days of the year. Simple math but awesome to me. For the purpose of this blog I will do my best to use that representation to note 365 Days of Thanksgiving. I have tried this many times in journals but have always failed and let it fall by the wayside. I am hoping by creating this blog and posting it on FaceBook that I will have the organization and forethought to keep it going. I also hope this practice will allow me to keep things in perspective and realize the true joy in life and focus on that each and every day. So hear goes.....
