The Army of Good

There’s an army of good arising. Join it!

All over we’re seeing signs saying, ‘Be Kind’, ‘Be the Good’, ‘Kindness Matters’.

Many are standing their ground that our country, our world, people in general need goodness and kindness expressed towards them!

There are no qualifications necessary to join this army, no weapons or armor needed…not even a general,  lieutenant or sergeant telling us what to do. We get to set our own schedule, march to our own beat, wear our own clothes, prepare our own foodstuffs, (no K-rations involved here).

All we need to do is be on the lookout. Lookout for what?

Lookout for wherever good needs to be advanced!

This is not hard to do friends 🙂

First begin with you:

Be good to you. Take care of yourself body, soul, mind and spirit. Think on good things.

Be good to your surroundings. Keep your habitation clean and orderly. (It will make you feel better.)

Be good at your job. Get along with others. Look for ways to improve and grow. Encourage your co-workers.

Be good to your neighbors and ‘hood. Keep your yard tidied. Plant some flowers to cheer things up a bit.

Be good to strangers. Smile at somebody. Say ‘Hi’ to another human. Put on a fresh face and dress attractively for you…that alone can encourage another person.

Be good where you shop. Put your cart back in the cart return. Take items you don’t want back to where you got them instead of leaving socks hidden in the canned goods aisle, or clothes hanging in pots and pan section (Thank you Joyce Meyer for this tidbit) After all someone else will have to clean up after you…

Be good to your family. Write gramma a letter. Go visit uncle. Say thank you and please to each other.

Be a good responsible driver. Your family and others need you to arrive safely in one piece.

Basic stuff this is…all things I have to implement each day too.

I  want to do better tomorrow and motivate others by my actions.

Let’s fight together in our army of good!

Let’s Do New!

Nothing seems to get me out of a rut quicker than to try something new!

The blah of  the same ole, same ole gets lifeless and boring, we tend to lose energy…(that will be an idea for another blog post)…and become even less motivated. It’s crazy how one area of life affects the other.

Without spending any money, pause to contemplate how to rearrange your living space or bedroom…probably will have to rehang some pictures, or maybe add some new ones. Move a plant from here to there or bring in a chair or desk from another room. Pull out Grandma’s dishes and use for everyday. Throw a colorful old table cloth over a chair for a temporary slipcover effect. Line your books up along the baseboard for instant library shelving.

Cut out fun patterned giftwrap into shapes and glue-stick it on your wall for backsplash beauty or run it along the top of the walls for color with out expense. It will draw the eye up and make the ceilings appear taller. (PS they will peel off easily leaving no residue)

These were a couple projects I did this week. Boy, does it feel better everytime I come home and enter my ‘new’ rooms!

All the time, my mind is thinking of new ideas to try, and so I do! One idea is a springboard to another, making life so much more fun.

What would you like to do to change up your habitation, your work space, garage, office, patio? You’ve already got everything you need.

Take your idea and move forward! Good bye to the doldrums!

We’re going to be happy in our lives 🙂
