Random Acts of Kindness

While on Facebook today, I saw someone's post in regard to a printable Random Acts of Christmas Kindness advent calender.  It made me think.  What about a 365 days a year Random Acts of Kindness calender.  Maybe a desk one so that you can easily see it?  Or, perhaps, an app for one?  Then I thought that it was sad that we'd even need one.  What ever happened to doing a kind act for someone without needing to be told?  When did our society become so self-centered that we'd need an app or calender to tell us to be nice to one another?  I know that I try to do nice things for others.  It may not be daily but it isn't non-existent either.  So now I know what my New Year's resolution will be.  I will be making my own RAK calender for next year.  I don't know if I will always do it daily, but I know that I am going to try to improve my own consistency of doling them out. I am thinking of doing a doggy one also. For those of you that ...

Religion - Believe It or Not

I was not born believing in God.  On the other hand, I also was not born disbelieving in him either.  I was a clean slate that knew nothing of religion or a higher power.  I just was.  A month after my birth I became a Roman Catholic.  It was not my choice as I was only a month old.  This was the choice of my parents.  A choice that had been forced on them by their parents and so on back to wherever my line started.  Except, I became the end of the line.  I stepped outside of religion and made my own choice in what I believed.  God did not win.  Or, at least then, I believed he didn’t.  Now, I am not so sure. I did all the regular Catholic sacraments – First Communion, Confession and Confirmation.  Though the latter didn’t happen till I was in my thirties and it was my choice.  At the time I was very into Catholicism and the Church.  My mother-in-law was my sponsor and, due to my Bishop being in the hospital,...

Let's Begin Again - For the 90th Time

I have a lot of blogs.  You'd never know it though because I create them and then they sit, languishing in the ether.  Oh, I might make a post or two but then...nothing.  I could say that this blog will be different but, statistically speaking, chances aren't good.  We shall see though, right? First, I am sure you want to know who I am.  Me too.  Oh, I know my name is Ravyn and that I am married - for more than thirty years - with no children.  Unless you count the ones with fur. Currently there are five of them living with us.  Three Bombay cats named Spike, Ducky and Bell.  Well, technically that should be Spike, Onyx and Michael Bell but you know how nicknames quickly become their names and hence Ducky and Bell.  Spike is 15 and Ducky and Bell are 14.  Spike is their dad. We are also lucky enough to be loved by a tan and white Dutch rabbit named Riley.  He's 9.  He is a true snuggle bunny that loves broccoli. He get...
