Secret Agent (Wo)Man

No act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted.  Aesop

I now have that song running through my head.  I'm sorry are you asking what song?!  Haven't you heard this?  Okay now that we've got that out of the way... :)

Today wraps up a week at YLSC of Gratitude and Secret Gratitude Agents.  It has been such a fun week - full of secrets and creativity and covert ops.  :)  Being the Front Desk means my co-worker and I get to participate in a lot of the fun of the covert ops and we get to see a lot of what people are getting as their secret agent shows them some gratitude.  It has been a huge hit - I'm campaigning for it to be an annual thing!
This week I have seen some "small" acts of kindness take people and their spirits a long way.  We all need a show of kindness and gratitude.  It's my soapbox - *you* may think it is "small" and not worth doing/saying/etc but small to you may be HUGE to someone else.  And no small thing is ever wasted.  They all add up together to make maximum impact.  I've watched it happen this week.  Everyone has been boosted by people getting loved on and shown some appreciation - it hasn't been limited to just the recipient.  Somehow, someway everyone benefits when acts of kindness and gratitude are  being done.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
