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.

Hello Work, Calling in Kind Today

Day 304

I had to miss work today, as I needed to spend the day at home, unexpectedly, with my son who was under the weather. While he slept the morning and part of the afternoon away, I tackled a disorganized and messy closet, a task I had planned and then put off at least half a dozen times.

The result; a bag of clothes for the boys who live next door, a bag for the donation center near my office, a clean closet and a completed act of kindness for the day.
