Kindness in Remembering Kindness

"In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.  For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
―Khalil Gibran

A woman I know was having a bad day -- the kind of day that includes tough conversations, tears, and emotional exhaustion.  Unexpectedly, she received a very sweet and thoughtful e-mail from an out-of-town friend recalling a kindness that the woman I know did nearly four years ago.  "It is a kindness that I will never forget!" the out-of-town woman wrote.  Little did the writer know that her appreciating something her friend did a few years ago was a much-needed kindness on a rough day.
