This entry is about being kind. Kindness takes many different forms during the course of a day. When I was adding my quick illustration to the quote, I thought about transporting kids from one event to another.
Calling a friend who is under the weather, far from children or other loved ones, or running a pitcher of water to the potted plant next door so it's not brown when your neighbor returns home can all be acts of kindness. Dave frequently mows an extra lawn or two, lends a trailer, or tends to the overflowing mailbox of a vacationing neighbor when the post office, once again, fails to act on the "no not deliver" request.
It is often the small things during a day that brighten a moment for someone else. It can be something as simple as a smile, or catching the door for a young mother wheeling an approaching stroller or an elderly walker getting in an afternoon walk using a cane. Give it some thought today and watch for a little opportunity to do a kind deed!
