This blog is is attempt to fulfill a promise made to a stranger 25 years ago. Spotting a broken down car on the side of rural highway in Upstate New York, a man who could have very easily kept on driving stopped to help me. After an entire afternoon of getting me on my way he accepted only a thank you and a promise that I would help someone else along the way. It is time I fulfilled that promise. I am making a commitment to be kind to a stranger at least once a day for a year.

Canine Kindness
This afternoon my younger son and I began researching an act of kindness for him to get involoved in. Animals are his thing, so that was the place to start. At my suggestion, he looked on line to figure out what we could do to help the local animal pound in our town. This seems like a good idea since a few years ago our dog spent a night or two in the "big house" before we figured on how to prevent him from escaping out of our yard. He was provided with a square meal and a clean cage, and each time the animal control officer was pleasant and helpful as she admonished us and collected the fine. And according to my son's research, contributions of dog food are always welcome, so that is what we will do.
