I know a lot of us have been taking good care of ourselves. Body-wise, we are updated on the latest beauty products that would maintain or improve our looks (how to keep our skin clear, how to lose weight, how to make that make-up last). We dress properly to make sure that our appearance is pleasing to others. Health-wise, we invest heavily on food and supplements that will keep our body in tip-top shape. We embark on a diet, we exercise, we want to avoid diseases. We take on a healthy living lifestyle.
But let me ask you: What have you done lately to take care of your soul, and your heart (and I mean figuratively)? As much as we take care of our bodies, we should also give enough attention to nourishing our inner selves.

It Couldn’t Hurt

Random acts of kindness–huh! It couldn’t hurt.
I told my husband I love him. It couldn’t hurt.
I packed a note in my son’s lunch box telling him how special he is. It couldn’t hurt.
I opened the door for a lady in a wheelchair at Walgreens. It couldn’t hurt.
I left a box of cookies for the mailman. It couldn’t hurt.
I let someone go in front of me in the grocery line. It didn’t hurt.
I called my brother to tell him I miss him. He misses me too!
I sent the Mayor a note saying what a good job he is doing. It couldn’t hurt.
I took flowers to the nursing home. It couldn’t hurt.
I cooked some chicken soup for a friend who is sick. It couldn’t hurt.
I played Candy Land with my daughter. It was fun.
I thanked the person who bagged my groceries. He beamed.
I gave my assistant the day off with pay. It only hurt a little.
I played ball with my dog. It felt good.
I invited a woman who doesn’t drive to lunch and to a movie. I enjoyed myself.

Random Acts of Kindness–hmmm, maybe I’ll live this way all year. It couldn’t hurt.
So try it! Refresh your souls and see how good it feels.
