Hello Wednesday! It’s time for another picture post. I’m going to do things a little different this week. Normally, I share a picture from an old folder I have saved on my computer. It’s usually from around a year ago at this time. This way we hopefully are getting a chance to look back at some old pictures and remember some things we were doing at a different time in our lives. However, this week I’m going to a much more recent folder on my computer. I’m going to a picture, or pictures rather, that I took yesterday.
If you recall I mentioned earlier this week that we should perform 26 acts of kindness in honor of the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook elementary school last December. Well, I’m doing it too and yesterday was day 1. I wasn’t sure what act of kindness I wanted to perform at first. It quickly dawned on me what I needed to do and who I needed to help out. And I’m trying to get my kids involved in this as well so I wanted this to be a group effort. They loved doing this so much that they want to know what we’re doing today. I’m still working on that one.
But anyways, you don’t have to do a recent picture this week if you don’t want to. You can just pick a picture at random. Or follow how I normally do it and go with the picture folder I’m in as well. But if you do join in please grab my button and read through the rules below and then link up your picture post at the bottom.

Rules
Just a reminder of the rules:
- Only PG-rated photos. Nothing that would be inappropriate for children to see because I often have children around.
- If your folder doesn’t go as high as the number picture I choose, or you don’t have a folder number then go with the last photo in the folder or the last folder.
- If you don’t feel comfortable posting a photo because it has children in it who aren’t your own or something, then please feel free to go onto the next photo. I’d rather have you join than not and the whole point of this is to start conversations.
- Please check out the other blogs on the linky. We’re not going to be able to start fun conversations about why pictures were taken if we don’t look at each others pictures.
- The linky will remain open for a week so you can add your link anytime within that week.
Where Were You Wednesday
This week we are in folder 22 picture number 83. Here’s where I was err yesterday…
For day one of 26 acts of kindness the kids and I wrote 26 things we love about our neighbor, put it in this box, and gave it to her. We told her it’s for whenever she’s feeling blue she can open it and know why we love her. She has really had a rough go of it lately and we know how sad she has been so it was nice to be able to give her some hope and a reason to keep going on even in the face of so much adversity. Not that I think she would do anything to purposely harm herself, but I knew she needs this pick me up and ego boost right now so it felt good to give this to her to remind her that she’s always loved by many around her every day even if she’s not hearing it, or we’re not around to tell her how great we think she is.
What will we do today? I don’t know yet, but it will involve the kids again. They are really getting into this.
Where were you in folder 22 picture 83, or just any random folder and picture you choose? Have you done any acts of kindness to participate in the 26 acts of kindness?
