Fits in very nicely with Pres. Uchtdorf’s address last night.

I’m glad you were able to safely navigate Costco. Yesterday my sister and I went to the National Book Festival on the mall. We listened to various authors and then met with the illustrator of my last book. When we headed home, the subway was Ridiculously Crowded. There were lots of events downtown that had just ended. A few people were complaining, but most people were extremely nice about it, and we wound up having a really fun conversation with the people around us.

I’m glad to hear it went so much better at Costco today – and thank you for the reminder to be watchful for those around us and to appreciate those who are watchful of us.

Love that happy photo, and life’s unplanned reunions!

Glad to hear that the Grocery Trip turned into a event, ” a Smile a Day Keeps the Glooms away”

It is so easy to notice the inconsiderate things, the bad things, the nasty things, that it is easy to overlook the good that happens around us. So when we do, it is a real blessing.

Oh, and the Parker pic! Getting his musical education early. Is that thing in his mouth to keep him from singing along?

ah yes, the Costco conversations over the produce boxes — we have Costco here, but we don’t have the connections with people that start the conversations — I miss that

love the picture of Parker!

Glad this weeks’ Costco run was better than the last!

I really thing it’s the small kindnesses that can make an outsize difference. I even see it on the highway- let one person open a space for someone to move into the lane they need, and the next minute you spot them doing the same for someone else. Making the world a better place, one smile at a time!
