Kindness
Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.
I had received a gift card for Subway from a a Christmas party at work one year. After using part of it, I sat down at one of the tables to eat. There was an elderly homeless man in the booth in front of me. He asked the lady behind the counter if he could have more mayonnaise. She told him no. Just flat out no. He went back to his booth and finished his sandwich, then he rose to leave. Before he walked out the door with all of his things, I gave him my gift card. There was enough remaining on it for a full foot long meal.
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have given him more mayonnaise. It costs nothing.

Mind Set
Don’t think, what can go wrong. Instead think, what can go right.
If there is something you want to accomplish, know with all your heart that you can see it through to the end. Yes, there will be hardships and road blocks along the way. But keeping a positive mind set/outlook will get you moving in the right direction and reaching your goals.
I won’t beat around the bush here. It took me 20 years to finish my first book (It doesn’t need to take you that long). I had a lot going on over those 20 years: family, military, career, writing. I lost part of what I had written due to a computer malfunction, and vowed I’d never pick my manuscript back up. Others encouraged me to continue writing. Eventually, I did continue. The point is I did finish. So can you with whatever you set out to do.
Attraction
What attracts you? There is something that pulls all of us. It can be anything. Color attracts me. More precisely, how color is used attracts me even more, so I like hot air balloons. When you have different colored ones all in one place, it pulls me. I’ve never been up in one but would love to be. Maybe one day. I also like beads, so I collect them and make jewelry out of them. Writing also pulls at me. That’s rather obvious, LOL. When I was a kid, my grandmother always bought my sisters and I a record album with a fairy tale on it. I would listen to them all the time. Because they were audio, I learned to use my imagination when I listened to them. So, stories attract me.
Now, what attracts you? Is there something you collect?
Past and Present
The past will stand its ground, but the present will move out of the way, propelling you forward. Learn from what was, and mold it into something better.

Trust and Confiding
You can trust someone, but can you confide in them? There are many who I trust but would never confide in. Trust has multiple levels.
