Kindness Remembered

"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth..."
~ Albert Einstein

I recently had a conversation with a local high school teacher whom I had not spoken to in probably a couple of decades.  We had gotten to know each other through a political campaign in which we were both involved about 30 years ago.  It so happened that a mutual friend was with him and they called to say hello.  The teacher shared that my sister had done him a favor about 20 years ago by getting him and several other teachers a special tour in our nation's capital.  He asked me to thank my sister for him.  There is a good chance that my sister does not remember her kindness toward him, but he certainly remembers and still appreciates it.  Conversations like these continue to remind me how very much kindness matters.
