A random act of kindness

According to Wikipedia, today is World Kindness Day. I think it's such a beautiful concept that I decided to talk about this in school. We talked about being kind and what that means. We also watched this video, that I find very sweet, about random acts of kindness:



I also asked the kids to think of two situations where they were kind to somebody else and somebody else was kind to them. When talking about kindness, it is impossible for us not to think about 5 individuals who have impacted our lives immensely and continue to show their kindness to no end:

- Fred: Thank you so much for being our driver around Jacksonville. For patiently waiting for the kids to choose their Halloween costumes and even saving Halloween night by taking us to a better neighborhood for the kids to trick or treat. Thank you for the whole bag of candies for Halloween.

- Paul and Shari: Thanks for helping out with the boat projects and working alongside us. Thanks for spoiling the kids endlessly. Thanks for driving us for Matias's doctor appointment and for bringing mommy juice when Matias fell off the bike.

- Myron and Dena: Thanks for answering all the questions we have about cruising and helping us with the technical stuff. Thanks for the yogurt and the applesauce for Matias. Thanks for babysitting the kids. Thanks for being our mentors and just for being there.

You guys have made our lives so much more pleasurable and happy. When we think of kindness, we think of you. A big thanks to you!
