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.

Teacher's Advice Remembered
My son has referenced his teacher's advice to him several different times this summer, which was a bit surprising since he rarely mentioned things she said during the school year. But it has become clear that he was listening and valued what she had to say. I thought that she would like to know especially since I'm pretty sure he didn't exactly look like he was paying attention in class. So in the spirit of kindness and fulfilling a blog entry, I sent her an email tonight to let her know that fifth grade may be in the past, but it is definitely not forgotten.
