Personal Edition Numero Uno
Walk By

Do we still have kindness in our hearts?
      I don't mean the kindness that you show your friends, or teachers, or your family, or even the cashier at the grocery store. I mean the kindness you show, that interrupts a moment of your day, that you don't even have to show at all, but you do anyways. Kindness like pulling the car aside, or bus, to go out and give a homeless man your shoes. How many of us would walk by, or drive by, without taking a second look.  This story has spread throughout the city, being praised by major newspapers and websites. Random acts of kindness like this are....well rare acts of kindness.

I hate that.

      Here's a link to the article about the bus driver who stopped to give a man, without any shoes on, his  own shoes http://goo.gl/KSjs3 . For some reason this story gave me flutters. The fact that someone was able to do this, well everyone is able to, but that he actually did, makes me want to run out and do something...beautiful for someone else. Is beautiful a weird word to use? Probably, but it fits. As Ellen would say, be kind to one another. Hope you enjoyed this read.
