We are a week into The Lent Experiment and I hope you aren't losing any steam. If you are, just think back to the things you have done over the last week and the smiles you have given to others.Your choices for today are:
1 - Get out your planner and organize a get-together for the upcoming weekend. Invite people over for dinner, organize an after work appetizers and drinks, plan a playdate for some girlfriends and their chidren, or arrange to meet on a Saturday morning for coffee and conversation. In our busy busy weeks, sometimes we don't get to have good time with our friends because no one organizes it, so be the party planner and get your party on.
- or -
2 - Buy flowers for someone! This is NOT just for boys that have girlfriends or men who have wives! In fact, DON'T buy for your girlfriend or wife - think outside your immediate family. Buy for yo' mama, an elderly neighbor, your secretary, a former teacher, your favorite barista, or your favorite cashier at your grocery store. Maybe you know someone who just lost a loved one and needs a pick me up or someone who has recently recieved some bad news. Think outside the box!! Flowers make people SMILE and feel all sunny and stuff.
Now go on... make someone's day!
Your Girlfriend,
Michelle
So, does it still count if I have to schedule the gathering for next weekend? :) I have something in the works for that...this weekend we will be in Cleveland visiting with my in-laws (which should be counted too...I'm really trying to make things work with them).
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!!
I think that would be great! The point of that as one of our choices today is to get together with others. Most people consistently say they want to get together with that girl from work, that couple from church, or that family from little league. We need to stop talking and DO. So, whether you do this weekend or next, be like Mike (not Tiger) and Just Do It! :o)
ReplyDeleteSo are we coming to your house for coffee, Michelle?
