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.

The Best Ideas Are "Borrowed"

Day 293

As I am nearing the end of my project, I sometimes find it hard to come up with original ideas. Fortunately for me, Sarah is just in the beginning of her 365 Days of Kindness, so every day I sneak a peak at her blog and see what ideas I can borrow. And today was my lucky day. She has decided to open up a craft shop with the goal of raising $365 for charity, so I had the opportunity to purchased a cool crocheted pinwheel.

While I can't crochet, or knit, sew, or really make anything, I can buy things. Maybe not creative, but still kind.

I'm not sure what my kind act will be tomorrow. Let's see what Sarah does....
