  1. Suzie - I’m back again and I just wanted to let you know your post inspired me to write my own post and I linked your post to it. It’s called Spreading Kindness

    Thank you for your writing. I like your audios and pictures too.

  2. What a wonderful way to put into action Random Acts of Kindness. I wish I was close to a beach but I’m here in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado with snow melting on the ground but just as beautiful. If we take the time and look around we can find ways to act like you are doing and make our world a better place.

    I enjoyed your post. Thank you for sharing this with us and the reminder to do our part. I liked the picture you included and Scott Adams’ quote.

    I am jealous you get to go on a daily beach walk and swim. I used to live in Florida on the beach and I did a ton of surfing, even though I was never good enough to be in a pro tour. it was a lifestyle I will always miss and try to get back to. I am in Dallas, TX now and there is nothing but corporations and flat land out here. Anyways, I saw your point about litter and cleaning up the environment and wanted to say how important it is because I saw first hand how nasty Daytona Beach has gotten because of people being dirty and it stinks. Thanks
