Wedding Flowers

My husband and I donated all of our ceremony flowers to the residents at St. Peter's villa. The thought of throwing away so many beautiful flowers that we only really used for a few hours was silly. It made us feel so good to think of all of the residents having a small flower arrangement in their rooms for Mother's Day. 

Lunch Time Officer

I went to Kwik Check for lunch today with two girlfriends for the regular bi bim bop. We were taking turns paying for our lunches and after I signed my check, I walked over to the nice police officer and ask him how about his sandwich. He said it was pretty good and suggested that I tried it sometime.

I went back to the counter and paid for his lunch.

Mystery at the Mechanic's

Random act of kindness: December 2011, my truck broke down, it was in the shop, and I didn't have the $500 it was going to take to fix it. A mysterious benefactor called in a payment, and my truck was fixed. I cried and cried tears of joy in the mechanic's lobby.

Tupperware made for sharing

Act of Kindness #1

On my way to work, from time to time I see a homeless man and his dog standing on the corner of East Pkwy and Sam Cooper. He is always holding the same, "Hungry" sign. Every time I would see him I would think, "I should have made extra breakfast this morning for him." But since his appearances were sporadic, it was hard to plan such a thing. 

One morning, I was running late and decided to pack my breakfast to eat at work. That morning I saw the same man and his dog. I made a split decision that I didn't need my breakfast nearly as bad as he did so as I passed him I gave him my tuppererware container filled with egg whites and sauteed kale; hardly a breakfast he is used to eating I'm sure. The next time I saw him (several weeks later), he remembered me and gave me the biggest smile and wave. Love is good.
