Kindness

I've experienced many acts of kindness today and they all have touched my heart. To start with I had a very sweet email from my mom this morning and I'm sure she knew that I would still be very nervous today as my appointment approaches tomorrow. She then came this morning and helped me out and took my laundry since the incident with the washer and dryer happened.....grr.

I had several nice messages on my Facebook and words of encouragement. These all touched my heart and made me smile. It's nice to have friends! My husband was very sweet at lunch today and I didn't have to ask him to do certain things.... hmmm.....

Then at lunch my oldest son came in with some coins in his hand and told me that he wanted me to have them. I told him that was sweet but to keep his money. He walked off and I fixed my lunch and sat down. My mom ate with me and I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom. I walked in my room and noticed on the table beside my bed that the coins were there, my son had gone in my room and put them beside my bed. When I came back out to the kitchen I called him. I asked him what he wanted Mom to do with the coins and he said he didn't know, but just to use them. So after some thought and debate we decided that I would use them towards my next hair cut. He was happy and I was touched by his kindness.

This afternoon, I had a very sweet email that brought tears to my eyes. I got a phone call from a friend just to check on me before my appointment tomorrow and I chatted with a friend online too. You never know what little acts of kindness may do for someone, today they went a long way for me!
