Thomas and Camilla July 2015 Date Day … 1st stop – lunch! Quiche and gazpacho for me. Could’ve eaten an entire bowl of the gazpacho! Yum! BBQ chicken sandwich and chicken coconut curry soup for Thomas.

Thomas and Camilla July 2015 Date Day – Stop 2, 3, and 4 … Grassroots Books to turn in our purged books and movies and to get “new” books (I found some I’ve been on the lookout for – wahoo!!!), then the pet store, then the other book store to look around.

The end of the Thomas and Camilla July 2015 Date Day. Sitting outside, facing one another, feeling the breeze and reading. Love ….. xoxo

Thomas opened the door for a lady today. She said something like, “Blessings to you all day today.” He told me this as we were driving off and wanted to know why she said that to him. I told him it was because he did something kind by opening the door for her (during a hail and thunderstorm) and sometimes people bless others who are kind to them.

He says, “Well if it’s that easy to be kind and be blessed, why don’t more people do it?” …… I think that there are small acts of kindness going on by the second, all around us. I also think that sometimes we have lost ourselves in thought, are not being mindful, and simply may not notice. Here’s to being mindful and noticing … and spreading kindness … and LOVE! xoxo
