The Kindness of Strangers

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.

Let Them Eat Cake

Day 224

Today is my birthday and I was quite fortunate to be on the receiving end of much kindness beginning with a trio singing to me at 6 AM. In honor of the day I stopped in a the restaurant next to where my kids were in class and ordered a piece of cake for the next customer who came in after I left. The person whom I ordered it from seemed a bit confused, but agreed to carry out my plan.

Here's hoping the recipient enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed my day.
