Thoughts on: Random Acts of Kindness

I just read Random act of kindness bonds two families and my first thought was, "AWWW!" As I read further, my next thought was, "Um. Stalker much?"

BUT! This isn't about my second thought. It's about my first thought. AWWW!

Random acts of kindness are so simple to do, yet the payoff is incredibly huge. Think about how you feel when you give one; how you feel when you get one.

It makes me wonder why they seem so rare.

Thoughts on: Hot What?

So, it's a new year and we all know what that means!


*crickets*


Another try at the whole "I'ma be fit" thing! Duh.

I'm using SparkPeople, again. I've tried Livestrong and actually preferred it to SparkPeople, but neither has an Android app and SparkPeople is giving away prizes, so...

But I'm not sure if I'll be able to consistently track my nutrition with SparkPeople if when I search for "hot chocolate," it responds with this:

Um...hot dog buns? Chocolate chip cookies? What?

Thoughts on: Parents and the Oil Spill

I love how we now have to teach the kids about things like this, because obviously the parents are clueless.

"With a similar message, Children also learned about beach safety and what to do in cases of seeing oiled debris or wildlife on the shore.."

Thoughts on: Validation is Overrated

"Feedback is important, selling is important, getting the market to recognize your offering and make a sale--all important. But there's a difference between achieving your goals and realizing your work matters." from Seth's Blog: Validation is overrated

I admit, I suffer from this disorder of needing praise and recognition and approval and validation. I know I take pride in my work and I know that should be enough. I need to realize the work I do for my employer is also work I do for me. Changing my perspective will hopefully change my attitude and help me conquer the disorder. My approval of my work is more important than anyone else's.

Hello, World!

Hi, my name is Kimberly, and I think random thoughts. I need a place to collect them. You have found that place.

Welcome!
