warm fuzzies

Random acts of kindness….as I sit here thinking of the past few days, I marvel at the random acts of kindness that I have been the recipient. It is amazing how these random acts bring warm fuzzies. Don’t you think that warm fuzzies are the greatest? So, let me start…Ker invited me to her stamp retreat. She did not have to do it, since I am not apart of her CTMH group, but she did and I had a fabulous time. It was quite delightful!!! Not only did she invite me, she treated me as apart of her group. It was great—5 hours of stamping and laughing!!! Lots of warm fuzzies that day!!

Then, there is the “snow removal dude”. Ever since the first snow storm, this “snow removal dude” has shoveled my driveway. I am not sure who he is nor have I been able to catch him. But, he has made a yucky polar bear snow day (Erin’s famous phrase) more pleasant. Just another example of warm fuzzies!!!

Another warm fuzzie was when my parents showed up to hear me speak. Dad was able to maneuver his work schedule to attend my Sacrament Meeting just to hear me speak. I am so thankful for the my parents support. They are amazing people. Just to see them walk in, brought all these warm fuzzies. Yep, just another example of that wonderful feeling.

On Sunday, I dropped by Gerb’s house. Let me tell you, if you are ever feeling sad and down…drop by her house. Her children are absolutely adorable. By the time I left, I had a bag full of homemade chocolate chip cookies and sassy sours. Plus, I left in hand with the most adorable picture drawn by one of her sweet children. They made me feel like I was so important. But, then I had a thought….Gerb-they are just like you!!! You are amazing and you are always giving out warm fuzzies!!!

Oh, then, when I was checking my email later that night…I received the sweetest email from a Young Women’s leader in our Stake. It came out of the blue—but was exactly what I needed to hear!!! Thanks, Sister Smith—your words brought a warm fuzzie!! Oh, I just love warm fuzzies!!!

Then, last night, I was invited to play laser tag with some friends. I am sure that Maleen will blog about it on her blog…so, I will just go to the warm fuzzie part. Oh, but first—we played Guys against Gals. Guess who won? YEP!!! It was the gals alright!!! HEE HEE!!! So, back to the warm fuzzie part…If you have ever been around Maleen, she is a warm fuzzie!!! Her heart is completely gold!!! She is full of sweetness!!! Thanks Maleen for just being a great friend!!!

So, as I look back over the past few days…I am so grateful for the warm fuzzies in my life!!! WOW!!! Life is great when there are warm fuzzies all around.

I'm glad you have people that love you enough to get your warm fuzzies! Of course, people give you so much because you give out so many yourself!

I'm so glad you came. I had such a blast, although I don't know how you can call me a warm fuzzie as I smashed Tyler's head up. They kind of seem contradictory. But I appreciate the thought. And Vieve is right. Those who give...receive.

Of course, my daughter deserves all the warm fuzzies that she gets because she gives so much of herself. I still think that you are a tad bit crazy!! But we love you so much!!

Oh Michelle! I love reading your blogs, infact I just love you. I am so glad (thanks Maleen) that I have gotten to know you. AND you are officially an honorary part of my unit. We loved you and Blythe just thought you were awesome and we want to do it AGAIN! Anyways, you do deserve all of those warm fuzzies!
