Random Acts of Kindness

Been a while since I last posted, but it's not without saying that a lot hasn't happened since we last met.  Many things swirl through my mind as the air turns a bit colder and the signs that winter is heading this way. 

But I got to thinking about how this world could use a little bit of kindness makeover.  Sure there are many nice folks out there, but there seems to be way too many with different views of what it means to be a good person. 

And it's not just the typical crazy driver who has to drive right on your tail, speed up when you are trying to turn a corner and blow his horn because you may have inconvenienced his drive because he may have had to slow down for quite possibly less than a second. 

But even kindness of saying hello or offering to hold a door open.  It doesn't take much and really can make you feel pretty good.

I got to thinking of this while pumping gas the other day.  While the Ultra-91 was fueling up the Mini, a young kid parked his U-Haul and asked directions to a highway.  He mentioned one differently and was actually putoff that I told him he was heading in the right direction.

Do I feel bad that he is probably still driving around trying to find out where he is going? 

Guess I should answer that question truthfully.
