― Henry David Thoreau
Kindnesses
come in all shapes and sizes. They can
be HUGE and those are certainly very special or they can be small.
Yesterday I
was having one of those moments that come along more often than I would like
and I wondered, How will I make it through
the day? Thankfully, my brain kicked
in and reminded me that I would get through the same way that I have gotten
through all the other days in my life.*
And it was nothing major that was troubling me, just scheduling --
getting here, getting there, getting it all done or close to it.
As I was
driving along on my way somewhere, I needed to get into another lane and not
having much luck. And then I received
that wonderful kindness of a wave -- another driver letting me in. With that simple and momentary graciousness,
that driver made my life easier and I appreciated it. We don't know each other and probably never
will, but there was kindness in that wave.
* I actually decided to figure out how many
days I have made it through. It seems I
am closing in on 20,000. One would think
that I would have gotten the hang of it by now.
