https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/   

Thank you Kristian for nominating me and for my RAKA AWARD, https://mwsrwritings.com/2018/07/30/random-acts-of-kindness-award-ka/ 

I appreciate your writing and you.  You have been one of those “sunbeams” in someone’s sunshine.

This is a good award , like mine, it focuses on those around us, who with or without trying impact another’s life,

I guess for me to point to a specific time in my life when I was impacted in a positive way, would be unfair, There have been so many times in my life when I felt like I was alone in my own feelings, alone in my personal battles, and alone as a human , period.

I would have to write about the first person who came in my life when we both were just kids, in a little country church. Her mom and my mom worked together and we both were around the same age but we really did not socialize. Well, not then we didn’t. She was a girl that kind of kept to herself, and her two sisters. She was pretty, I always thought. I remember standing behind her in the church pews and admiring her long hair. I know that seems odd, but she had the prettiest hair.

She had two sisters and two brothers who semi attended church. She seemed to be the quietest of the bunch. Her brother would go on to be the pastor of this little country church.  Her mother was a strong Christian lady and she was always at church and trying her best to rear her children up in the love of the Lord. I admired her so.

Let’s go ahead in time to when we became friends for life…

Her name is not important but she and I soon took up as life long “sisters” and friends. She has given me more support and love than anyone on this planet, excluding my family of course. She loves with everything she is and her all. She is a beautiful soul and a beautiful person. The way she accepted me and has loved me along some of the most terrible times in my life, is immense. I never knew a better friend and her whole family has adopted me to be their own. I love them all and her especially.

Her love has tremendously impacted my own life and her eagerness to be in my life and to have me in hers can never be repaid. She is very unselfish and very giving. If she were to read this, I would want her to know, she is the brightest star in the darkest journey I have ever had to walk. I love her and I hope she knows that.

Too much noise

Not enough poise

Very uptight

Nah, not tonight

Get it away

Leave me some

Pretend to be

Just for me

Together still

Bonds that prevail

Grateful heart

Nice place to start.

RAKA AWARD

 

image

 

Hey All!

This week I am sending out the award I made, the RAKA award, the random act of kindness award.

I came up with this award because so many of us are touched by random acts of kindness, and they are worth mentioning.

All through life we encounter people who for no aparent reason help us, or extend a hand when needed. Some do it directly and some do it indirectly.

Rules are posted on original award post, but here is a recap.

1- copy or paste image for reward on your post.

2- Write a paragraph on a random act of kindness, either you saw, was given to you, or you have done. It is okay to spread the love people. You don’t have to name specific names or what evers but tell us about it.

3- Share this award and link to original post or tag the person who nominated you.

4- If you should want to do this then you can leave an open ended invitation, or personally tag others.

5- Pictures are a good share to, if you have pictures to share a random act of kindness, that is great!

News Information Share/McDonald’s

McDonald’s is overhauling its Happy Meals to make the kids’ menu healthier.

McDonald’s is making Happy Meals healthier.

By 2022, cheeseburgers won’t be part of the menu for the kids’ meals, although parents can still ask for them. The main choices will be hamburgers and four- and six-piece Chicken McNuggets. And the French fry sizes will be smaller.

Bottled water will be added to Happy Meals later this year, and chocolate milk will come with less sugar. McDonald’s also pledged to serve more fruits, vegetables and grains.

All Happy Meals in the United States will have 600 calories or less by June, and at least half of stores and drive-throughs around the world will meet that target by 2022. McDonald’s says the calorie count in an average Happy Meal will come down 20%.

The company also said Thursday it will “reinforce responsible marketing to children,” in a statement Thursday.

The American Heart Association called the move an “important step in the right direction” and urged McDonald’s competitors to follow suit. The organization said 40% of young children eat fast food every day.

McDonald’s has been tinkering with Happy Meals for several years in response to pressure from public health groups, and to lawsuits for using toys to market to kids.

In 2011, McDonald’s added apple slices to Happy Meals. Soda came off the menu in 2013. And last year, McDonald’s replaced Minute Maid apple juice with its lower-sugar Honest Kids brand juice.

It’s also experimenting around the globe with new Happy Meal items. Last month, McDonald’s rolled out a grilled chicken sandwich in Italy, and locations in Australia and France are exploring vegetable and protein options.

I just love the Bee Gees! If oyu haven’t heard these guys, then take a listen!

I own some feline pets, and they need a good litter. Trust me I have tried a whole bunch of them. The best litter by far is Tidy Cats litter. I do not care much for the light weight kind, because of price, but I like to get the big tub ones. I also use these tubs to house the used litter that I through into baggies, until I can dispose of them. Below is a link to it. Check it out.

I am a diabetic and I use this stuff in place of real sugar. It tastes great and there is no after taste. It is Turvia. Check it out.
