Kindness and Knitting

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
Winston Churchill

I was inspired by a story I saw in the news:  An 86-year-old gentleman living in an assisted-living facility learned how to knit, so that he could make caps for premature babies.  It took the gentleman several days to get the hang of knitting, but he did and managed to make a number of caps for the newborns.  He plans to continue to make caps.

Just thinking how hard it is for me to learn something new, I was awestruck by the determination and generosity of this octogenarian.
