Digestives? Oh yes, give me some of those she said sarcastically while vomiting into her cup of tea.That's British slang for chocolate cookies (they call cookies 'biscuits' over there)

I didn't yell at my son for having a 7am detention today. I call that kindness, especially since I had to wake him up and drive him there.

It's an acquired taste! I like the plain ones (I stick 'em together with butter and have them with hot tea with milk and honey) 
We mooshed up some Digestives last weekend to use as a base for a lemon curd cheesecake. Nummy.
Okay Neesy and Flakes, I'll take your word for it. I would've thought they could've come up with a better name.
This may be the best thread idea I've ever seen. Good job, nn!

Now if they were Dark Chocolate Digestive, that would be really kind!

You are a man after my own heart - I love dark chocolate!
Took The dog to get his picture taken with Santa. Even though hes on the naughty list. Didn't want to wait his turn,was getting to much attention.
Damn, I can't think of anything I may have done that was nice today, I held a few doors for people at work I guess. But that doesn't really cut it, does it? It's a good reminder thanks, I'll get on to being nice !
I was really nice yesterday though. ..I didn't punch that girl at the gym who was hugging the only available abs bench just to sit there and check her phone for absolutely ages. I waited a while, then lost my nerve a little and asked her in the kindest possible way : " Are you done with the bench?" which she didn't take well at all. She stared at me and said: " No. I have a set to do " and I walked off and waited nearby for her to do her set. Now if I had told her what was truly going through my mind ( " F******g get on with it then, you stupid b****! ) things might have turned out differently, there might even have been blood. So I guess that was nice of me ? 
This was my husband being kind but I wanted to share.
Last week while we were so bitterly cold, he needed to run out for some errands. He saw one of our neighbors, who is mildly mentally handicapped, walking along. The neighbor doesn't drive, but he is a very hard worker, delivers papers and does odd jobs and such. And always walks or rides his bike. So Scott turned around and picked him up and drove him to where he was going, which turned out to be waaay on the other side of town. It would have taken him forever to walk there, and in -25 degree weather! He was very thankful to Scott for stopping for him. I just thought that was nice, and wanted to share.

Cat that is so very sweet. Those type things really can make anothers day!
This happened yesterday in work. I started to help a co worker with her work. First she didn't saw what I was doing, but when she
realize that I helped her, she said Oh you are so kind when you help me.

I realize that what I post here might fit only in one sense, but I post it because I think it's an important sense, and because it's what's been going on with me lately. The kindness I'm showing is to myself. I'm not ignoring others or trying to be mean to anyone, but I've realized that the time has come for me to finally start learning how to take care of myself, by which I'm not referring to personal hygiene or eating enough (or at least not only those things). I'm having to ask myself some questions about what I want out of life, then, with the answer-burdens in tow, having to learn how to find or accomplish those things. As I will find them the burdens will fall away, obviously. I'm being kind to myself by altering my behavior to allow for my need to face my personal challenges, demons, pain and whatever, and make decisions about them. In the past I thought incorrectly that having to face them was cruel. It is not, but kind, because those are the bad things, the diseases, the torments, which when faced and dealt with and decided-what-to-do-about, finally go away. Not facing them not only allows them to stay - if you ignore a problem it will not go away, not really - it feeds them, and gives birth to more of them.
So, while trying not to ignore others or be mean to them or not care (I'll always care), I'm focusing on my own needs. I hate to admit it at this late date, but it feels like a new experience to me, like I'm entering new territory. I guess the territory's always been there; I've just had my back turned to it.

Thanks for sharing this. A big step. Thinking of you.
(((Frank))) You've made a huge first step. Acknowledging the issues is the first step and being willing to go forward with dealing with them is a very scary place to be but it's the best way to slay the dragons. Sending you positive, supportive vibes. 
Self matters, Frank, and that is a big step to realize and move forward. Prayers you find the answers, and positive vibes to keep you on the path.
This sounds rather menial, but I showed a kindness by NOT walking the dog today. A-she'd freeze her little paws off and B--I'd lose her in the snow...
