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.

Think Spring

Day 333

I know it was Give Flowers to a Stranger Day just a few days ago, but I celebrated again today. Recently the small grocery store near my house opened a florist section. And often I can find flowers there for a dollar a stem. Perfect for those days when I'm short on kindness for a stranger ideas.

Today there were beautiful irises. I bought three and went into parking lot with the wind blowing and the temperature dropping, and left them on car in the parking lot with a note “Think spring!”
