Sharing Kindness

Sorry for the long period of inactivity.  Being out of school for almost three weeks has thrown me off my blogging schedule.  I hope everyone had a wonderful break and took advantage of the time to celebrate family and friends.

Over the holiday season I'm sure that many of us have witnessed and participated in acts of kindness.  Some of which have been recognized and appreciated by others, both recipients and witnesses.  One student wanted to share the video below... while it is a commercial advertisement, it clearly illustrates how much kindness there is in the world, and it encourages us to "see the world a little differently".

Another student posted the following comment:

"Over the break I was in the car and I witnessed an act of kindness. I was at the gas station and my mom and I pulled up in the line right behind someone else who went in to go pay. As she was walking out she had some money in her hand and she gave it to the guy who worked at the gas station pumps. She just smiled and said thank you (to the gas station guy) and he just nodded and smiled; then she left.

I have never seen someone do that before, granted I have not been driving for a whole long time, but it a really nice thing to do.

I just thought that act should have been recognized here on the blog."

A friend shared this encouraging news story about a "Layaway Angel" paying off layaway plans for strangers...

And this story about a very generous police officer in Plano, Texas.

Thanks for sharing.  What else did we witness??  Post your observations in the comments section.
