Yesterday I tried to focus on the small things that are easy to forget and look past. A few weeks ago someone I know asked me to do a favor for them. At the time I was a little bugged, which was silly of me, but as I did the favor I got a lot out of it. Yesterday I took the time to go and thank that person for the opportunity they provided me. I also made sure to compliment people more. I love the peaceful feelings that come as I do these things.

heres one for you to be doing this sight! ((((HUG))))
Today was harder for me. I was going to work on forgiving again, but I don't really think much about the things I may have grudges about unless I'm around that person. Today was harder. I think for the rest of the day, I will focus on others, and forget about myself. Forget about missed buses, imperfect homework scores, an unmade bed, forget about the handwashing, and focus on making sure those I'm around know that I love and appreciate them. You bet there will be hugs included! Thank you for this site. I appreciate the motivation, and the opportunity to improve and become more humble, without being "compelled" to. Thank you again for this site, and thank you Bryce and Tammy and of course sweet Dani, for being the driving force behind so much good that is being spread all over the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is the first time I've seen any of this. The first I knew of it was on Tuesday, when for the first time for as long as I've known her, my high school Drama teacher wasn't at school. We asked the sub where she was, and she just said she was at a funeral. The next class, Miss Sellers was back, and she told us about her cousin Tammy's husband. We were all pretty quiet as she invited us to take part in this '100 days of love' thing. Then she gave us this web address, and I just decided to check it out. It's pretty amazing to me how much one family can affect the lives of so many others. I like the theme for today. I usually feel uncomfortable getting hugged, but here goes!
There is a movement sweeping the earth called the "Free Hugs Campaign". Some guy started it because he was all alone at an airport, surrounded by happy huggers. He made a sign stating "Free Hugs", and has made media history ever since. Go to http://freehugscampaign.org/. This thing is huge! Let's do it! Brycey gave the BEST bear hugs in the world, so he would have done it. Anybody want to get a group together and go downtown for "Free Hugs"? Yeah, it sounds a bit twisted, but it will make people smile, and go home with happy stories of crazy people. It will also be a good opportunity to pass out information about melanoma. I love it!! Let's do November 17th downtown. Anyone interested? We'll need Free Hugs shirts, of course. Here's a personal callout to some people whom I know will go with me: Steff, Holly, Mikey, Joe, Beth, Katie, Sam, Kristi--just to name a few. I'm SO in!! Email me through my blog, www.brycedbrown.com.
It's amazing how good a simple hug can make someone feel! I know that this is an extremely simple thing to do, but it actually works. Today I took the extra 10 seconds to make sure that I hugged my husband and my son before they left for the evening. After reading about Tammy, Bryce and Dani, this is one thing that I vow never to take for granted.
It is amazing to me that I don't take the time to hug my husband the way I use to. I get so caught up, feeling unappreciated that when I see him I want to wrap my arms around him and tell him about my day but I don't even know if he wants me to anymore or if he even cares. Today I will really try to hug him and appreciate him instead of worrying about him appreciating me. Maybe I can turn around the downward spiral.
Hey Tammy,
