One word ....




One kind word can change someone's entire day :)

I just loved this stamp from Riley and Company's
new stamp release when I first saw it.
  There is something so profoundly wonderful in sharing a kind word,
 offering a smile, 
 blessing someone's day.

Much to my daughter's dismay, I'm the mom 
that talks to everyone.
My dad used to joke that if there wasn't anyone around,
I'd talk to a tree stump!

I can't recall talking to any trees, seriously :)
But I'm of the mindset that if I'm going to stand in front of you 
at the grocery line, or sit next to you at the dr's office,
I'll say hello and ask you how are.

It's kind of funny how at the end of a exchange of any sort
... be it at the bank, the store, the movies, etc ...
I say thank you and have a blessed day!
8 out of 10 times, the reaction is a nice one :)

I always tell my children that you they need to carry enough 
faith and grace to not just last through-out their day,
but to share with others as well.






The new Riley and Company Challenge is up and this week,
it's brought to us by Joy. 
Her challenge is to use sentiments on your cards.
Here is mine, using One Kind Word ...
I used the sketch from Mojo Monday #139 and
I'll enter this to their challenge.

If you upload your card/project to SCS, 
please include the keyword Riley2313.
And be sure to stop by the Riley and Co DT to see
what they made for this challenge - you can find them in my sidebar :)

I hope someone shared a kind word, smile and blessing
with you today!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
~Kelly

  9. I love this sentiment. I'm the same way - why stand silently in line when you could get to know another person? The grouchier a person looks, the more cheerful I am to try to brighten their day. :-)
