We went on a trip with my sister and her family to one of the local peaks. It was cold, but sunny and we set up a couple of bonfires. I don't think I was necessarily kinder than anyone else there, but I generally make an effort in an everyday way 🙂

Today's Kindness
Yarrr!! I need to do more. Its a little hard when you don't see many people during a day. I did spend the whole day washing and riding clothes which is sort of kind, but also to be expected now and then. Anyways, ny wife was very grateful.

Today's Gratitudes
1) We got a new container thing for the house. It's a chest.. that I can lock with a padlock. It's for the basement and for organizing things we don't want the kids or guests to have access to. Feels good to tidy up this part of our lives a little. Maybe you can guess what it's for? 😄 Anyways, I'm happy with it!

2) It did feel nice tidying all those clothes 💪

3) I'm grateful that it's winter vacation week here now and things are a little slower at work. I might spend some time in the home office 🙂

Today's Kindness
Have I been kind? I was kinda funny chatting with this woman at the spa. She was taking picture of her feet and a woman berated her, telling her picture taking was prohibited. She said she was just taking pictures of herself and then I told her she could take pictures of me and my wife of she wanted to.

It's just fun to say stupid things sometimes.

Today's Gratitudes
1) My parents!! They came and got the kids. Took them away for a sleepover at their place. Yay!

2) We immediately went to the spa and spent a good two hours there, laying about in saunas and taking cold dips.

4) And proceeded to watch through S4 of Slow Horses while getting our chub on and gorging ourselves 🐴

5) And then finished the night off with a bang 🥰🤩
