Most of us living on the East coast have only been hearing about one thing this week, the looming snow storm. Everyone has been attempting to predict how many inches we're going to get hit with and wondering if we'll lose power. Valentine's day almost seems like an afterthought in comparison. But did you know that it's also Random Acts of Kindness Week? And what better timing? There are always people who could use a little kindness around St. Valentine's Day and I'm sure the impending storm will present plenty of opportunity to shovel an elderly neighbor's walk or clean off someone's car.
Hopefully there won't be power outages, but if there are that's another
chance to kindly offer to help someone. I remember when the other side
of our street lost power for days one summer and there were extension
cords traveling from one side of the street to the other, neighbor
helping neighbor. I would never wish for a disaster but if we get
slammed by Pax,
a highly ironic name for a storm I might add, then why not view it as
an occasion to spread a little kindness and offer a helping hand to
those you see in need. If there is anything good about a catastrophe
it's that it brings out the best in people. There are always stories of
how someone rose to the occasion to come to another's aide. So be on the be on the look out. You may just make someone's day.
