Hello Everyone! So I thought I'd write about kindness today. At our school we have something called "The Law of Kindness" which the kids are taught from the moment they arrive at school. It pretty much speaks for itself, it's means being kind to your fellow students, teachers, friends, etc. Well for the month of February we have "The Kindness Challenge". The children get points for acts of kindness that they demonstrate throughout the month. We get stickers for every point and have to fill up the letters A L A with stickers throughout the month. Once the letters are filled up we have a Kindness Pizza Party and an assembly. Well, the day of the assembly the classes have to vote for the student in their class whom they think is the kindest. That student then gets recognized with a trophy during the Kindness Assembly. Well.....the kindness assembly was on Friday and CJ was voted the kindest in his Kindergarten class by his classmates. The picture is above. He was so excited and mom was very proud. Now, speaking of kindness, my friend Stephanie was very kind and gave me her treadmill. I am so excited. I've started doing 30 min in the morning and 30 min in the evening. I am running for 5 min and walking for 5min. However, my neighbor downstairs informed me that in the morning the treadmill is really loud, so I may only be able to walk in the morning...which I guess I'll have to do. Chris is going to see if he can get some mats from his work, so it won't make so much noise. I was really bummed when she said that, because running on the treadmill finally gave me something to be excited about. I'm hoping if I walk in the morning it won't make so much noise. Well, that's about it for now. Continue to keep us in prayer when you think of us. Love ya.

Hey Rhonda,
You have 2 very kind kids...didn't Miranda receive it one year? Excited to hear that Steph gave you her treadmill...so sorry about it making too much noise. I will pray that the mats will help...and of course I am praying for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you,
Loretta
