Hello and welcome. I know it’s been quiet around the blog lately. I didn’t even post a monthly inspiration yet. So, let’s start there. I just learned that February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day.
I’m not going to ask if you plan to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day and how because I think having it planned would mean it’s not really random. Instead, I would encourage random acts of kindness whenever the opportunity arises.
“How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time.”
— Morgan Freeman
“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.” -Khalil Gibran
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop
February 17 is also our wedding anniversary. We are celebrating 18 years of marriage this year. Our plan is to do some car shopping as we need to replace our minivan (puppymobile). We have been doing a lot of searching online and have looked at a couple of vehicles at dealerships but have yet to find what we are looking for. We will be buying used and are thinking of an SUV type vehicle. We do not need anything fancy. We just hope we can find something reliable. If you have ever owned a SUV that you loved, please tell us what it was and what you loved about it. It might also be helpful if you have had an SUV that was not a good vehicle if you share that information as well.
Thanks for any help you can give, and I’ll let you know if we find something.
Happy belated anniversary! We’ve had a GMC Terrain for years—super reliable but I don’t think they make them anymore!

I did hear about Random Acts of Kindness Day – it is a nice gesture and I like your quotes selection Ruth. Well, I only interacted with myself, so no chance to be nice unfortunately. Happy anniversary to you both! Sorry, I can’t help you with your SUV selection. My car is now 16 years old, but not an SUV, so sorry I can’t help you out on that, but whatever you find, I hope it has nice seat warmers – brrrrrrrr!!

Thanks, Linda. We don’t like a lot of the electronic features on the newer vehicles, but heated seats are nice. 🙂

I wouldn’t like them either Ruth. Too many bells and whistles on them – too much to go wrong. I don’t drive much in Winter, especially this Winter with all the snow and ice (ice especially), but I sure have enjoyed the heated seats when out there warming the car. I hope you find a perfect SUV for you and your husband (and Ranger and Ruby of course).
