Inspired by Ann Curry's 26 Acts of Kindness to honor the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut, we performed our first act of kindness. We gave a Dunkin Donuts gift card to the crossing guard at the six year old's school. This older woman is out there every day, rain or shine, spring or winter, making sure our kids are safe and that the buses and cars come and go without incident. So often she is an afterthought, if even that. She was incredibly thankful and appreciative of our kindness. And that's what it's all about.
Good for you! We all need to take Ann Curry's example of trying to be kinder to one another ... for no reason but to be kind.
