'Hello' - How Are You On This Fine Thursday? I hope the year has been kind to you, so far, and you've been able to spend some time working toward your dreams and all the many things that are important to you. I hope you've also contributed to the happiness of your loved ones - whether by kind word, or 
kind deed - perhaps an extra hug, a bit of praise, a smile, or maybe by calling someone that you don't connect with as frequently as you - or he/she - would like to connect.
It's Tuesday, and that means it's Tip-Day for PreMeditated Acts of Kindness. My 2008 Resolution is to 'Show Gratitude' for my blessings by 'Giving Back'. The point behind PreMeditated Acts Of Kindess is to give more conscious thought to my actions and the way that I treat others. I'm urging folks to join me and do the same - to work at being kind because it's the right thing to do, without worrying about receiving anything in return, be it kind gesture or word, though my experience is that kindness shown is usually returned in kind. I hope you'll join me this week in striving to make someone else's day a little bit happier. Or if you're feeling a little low, to be inspired by a kind soul who passes your way and smiles, does you a favor, gives you a big hug, lets you merge in traffic . . . lends a hand.
On this Thursday - I hope you'll also consider giving a boost to a loved one with whom you can't or don't interact with on a daily basis. The holidays are now a distant memory. Those warm feelings of sharing with loved ones may have passed as well, but we don't have to restrict 'family closeness' to the holidays. Why not try to stay in touch on a more consisent basis with loved ones, family members, the people who are so important to you. Sometimes the converstations aren't as easy as we would hope; sometimes they don't go the way we would like - but don't let that deter you from picking up the phone. Life is so short. The years pass so quickly. Time gets away from us. Why not pick up the phone to say 'hello', to show that you care and you're thinking of the people in your life who are important to you?
