We are still marching on with our kindness advent. Today we did a little donut delivery to Harper’s school staff. Yesterday was a snow day, so it worked out perfectly to welcome the teachers back with yummy goodness that is the Krispy Kreme donut.
If you are planning on doing this advent day, make sure you call ahead. When you call ahead to Krispy Kreme and give them a 24 hour notice you get a 25% discount. Well worth the phone call and the advanced planning.
Tomorrow we are leaving fun post-it note messages in a public restroom. Fun and easy and sure to bring a smile to someone’s face.
So who all is stressed feeling today? Just me? Golly geez sometimes I can have so much anxiety and stress over the littlest, most minute things. I feel crazy some days. I’m trying to breath a little more today and relax. Looking around. God is so mighty and so good. And I do love this season.
Sometimes I let my to-do list rule my thoughts, actions and even my heart. Goodness knows just about everyone’s to-do lists right now are lengthy…tis’ the season. I can get so frustrated and act like such a jerk sometimes…especially when it comes to me being selfish about my time. I find myself saying, “If I can just cross X, X and X off my list I’ll feel better” or then I can play with the kids or etc, etc, etc. I’m reminding myself that if my list stays long and I only ever so slowly cross things off the world will still turn. I’m sucking up my pride and admitting to myself that I cannot do and be everything to everyone…and that is just fine. Grace. A big dose or grace. I need it…please and thank you.
So if you are a stresser today like me, I challenge you to breath deeper and accept some grace. Prioritize and delegate and just down right procrastinate some. We’re doing our best and trying our hardest and that totally deserves some major props. Here’s to you.
Happy Wednesday!

Grace. This post hits home for me today. Thank you!
Donuts are delicious. But grace is even better!
I needed this today! I just want to say that you are such a huge inspiration in my life, I look forward to your posts everyday. We also have started the random acts of kindness this year as well. Breathe deep! Happy Holidays!
Totally needed this today! Thanks for your words of wisdom! You rock!
I didn’t need to see that picture. Makes my mouth water. Luckily, I was already planning on a Krispy Kreme trip on Friday. I lived many years (10 to be exact) with no Krispy Kreme stores in my town. Just no other donut will do. Now that I have one so close I have to pace my self.
Keep heaping on that grace. I never end up feeling worse when I let something go like perfect treat bags for my kids’ classmates because all the other parents are sending them or Christmas cards sent out to everyone we know but always end up less stressed. Usually when I let something go around the holiday it works out so well that I often end up never picking up that little task again.
