The Kindness of a Neck Massage

"Love has an enormous number of connotations, and if somebody is a person who does kind acts as a way of life, if they are generally disposed to being caring and loving and doing things for other people, then kindness is a much stronger word than we make it out to be."
~ Susan Hill

The other day, I was driving one of my teenage children and a friend somewhere when I realized that I had forgotten something I had to do for another child.  I became momentarily upset.  (Ok, so it lasted a little longer than a moment.)  Seeing that I was upset, my daughter's friend said, "Oh, what you need is a neck massage."  And so from the back seat, she massaged my neck for a couple of minutes.  The massage was great, but it was her thoughtfulness that really made me feel better.
