Kindness can be done with Focus

Well, writing down all the kindness I saw and did didn't happen. I started off really good and thought I could just keep it all in my head. Do you know how hard it is to write down something everything you see it? Not going to happen but I did have kindness in the forethoughts of my mind all day and did a few things I wouldn't have done otherwise or may have just let the opportunities pass. The one that I was giddy over was actually helping my hubbie by prepping dinner for him a bit. It was as simple as getting out the box, reading the instructions and getting a pot of water ready for the evening to boil and the colander out in the sink. Not much but I was thrilled with myself and it felt SO good to do something for him and he noticed! It is all about the little things! I have realized how I have really had so many opportunities throughout our marriage and I have made excuses for not doing them. For example, for years he wanted me to hang his shirts in a particular way. I was so annoyed by it and always thought what difference does it make. Well, he now does our laundry so I don't have that chore to deal with but I realize I could have done it how he asked and been showing him that I love him by that simple act of doing something the way he really wanted it done. It really is all about the little things. So, I wonder what other little things I can do today to help someone and make them feel loved and cared for?
