Daily Blessings: Kind People and the Kindest Thing Anyone Has Ever Done for Me

The ChipChat Podcast - A podcast by Chip Franks

Howdy, you beautiful Soul!I had an interesting email today--it was a wonderful person asking me directly to be "added to the emails." Apparently, the signup on my site at ChipFranks.com wasn't working.​Well--if you have someone you'd like to add to these Blessing Reminder emails, please have them visit:​​www.BlessingsReminder.com ​​and they can sign up (there may be a confirmation email they have to approve, too).​It is an honor that someone would recommend these to someone else. I really appreciate it--and if you do that, I'll continue to do my best to put out something of value for you and them!And with that--let's get to the BLESSINGS for today!Kind people doing kind things. Today, I--and my school--were treated very kindly by the pastor of the church we are taking over during the school weeks. He was just so nice, and they were eager to help us.​That's just one of the things that make life so wonderful.​Who is someone who showed you some kindness? Can you think of what they did for you? Bring that to mind now, and just let it sit on your soul.​Sprinkler systems. They make grass green pretty dang effortlessly. It's so much easier to do than it used to be, with moving around a sprinkler (if we'd even do it). Thank you.​The Blazing Sun here in Texas! It's been over 100 degrees (38 degrees C) for many weeks in a row now. It's tough to be outside during the middle of the day.​The good news? The blessings are that the mornings are wonderful, the evenings are pretty pleasant, and for the other nine months of the year, it's pretty great here--I'm grateful that we get 70 degrees often in January! I'm also grateful to know it's all a cycle.​The sun is also the source of all life here on Earth...so I guess there's that, too .​Builders who make wonderful inside spaces. Our school just went from 3,000-ish sq feet to 12,000...and I'm so grateful to everyone who built THAT--and ALL of the places that we have. People designed, paid for and built all of the places we use daily. Just for us.​How wonderful is that? Thank you.​Ideas being shared in books. That is so cool. We can receive information from another person who has spent their entire professional life gathering and creating this knowledge--and they can pass that on to us through the written medium. I'm reading some marketing books now, and Wayne Dyer's autobiography (again), and the Marcus Aurelius book (wow, that's a lot, I guess)...and I'm blessed by the words.​I came across this quote from Dr. Dyer's book and I wanted to share it with you:“To be nobody but yourself in a worldwhich is doing its best day and night to make you likeeverybody else means to fight the hardest battlewhich any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”​E.E. CummingsAnd with that thought, it's time to go!​​I hope this email found you feeling great and left you just a little bit better for it.​​Have a wonderful day.With love, Chip​P.S.
