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.

No Kindness for Fleas
About a month ago my son and I brought some dog food to the local animal pound. When we were there I asked the animal control officer what donations they needed most. She said besides money, flea and tick control. So today when I was at the vet picking up some up for our menagerie of three dogs and two cats, I got a couple to drop off at the pound as well. The technician told me it was buy six get two free. I'm pretty sure that “free” was a relative term here, but it helped to feel like I got a bargain on kindness.
