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.

Spring Temperatures Bring Hope And Trash

Day 337

As the snow melts, many things are revealed in my yard. That lost sled. The snow shovel that went missing. My black gloves that my son swears he didn't wear. And sadly in my neighborhood the melting snow uncovers trash, and lots of it.

When I went out for a run to enjoy the spring like temperatures, I picked up a few pieces along the way. A little more melting and I sense a Saturday family project in the making...
