You are reading from the book Today's Gift.
Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.--Madeline Bridges
Sometimes we feel lazy or bored, and then we don't do our best work. Maybe our writing becomes hard to read, or we miss a porch when delivering newspapers. Perhaps we are daydreaming instead of listening closely to what a friend is trying to tell us. When we are not really paying attention to our activities or the people around us, we'll likely miss out on something important because we do receive in equal measure what we give. And this truth works in every aspect of our lives.
When we treat our friends, our families, even people we don't know well with kindness, we'll experience kindness in return. Our own actions and attitudes toward others are what we can expect from others as well.
How can I increase the kindness in the world today?

This has proven so true for me over and over again. When I wake up and start my day off with negative thinking and dread everything I have to get through.......the day seems to last forever and every possible problem know to man will happen to me. When I approach the day from the prespective of gratitude for another day alive and sober, that I get to go out and do some more of God's work......the day seems to fly by and things seem to go wnderfully. There are always tragedies or problems that pop into our lives here and there, but if I am in a positive frame of mind and relying on my Higher Power, then they are just minor problems that together we cn over come. Hope you all have a day filled with gratitude and happiness.
