There is a letter (about half way down the page) in today's local paper about a small act of kindness. Someone in a Tim Hortons drive-through line paid for the coffee order of the person behind then. This small act of kindness made the second person's day.

We spend most of our lives absorbed in our own small worlds, rarely peeking out to see what is happening around us (unless it is to complain about how the things happening around us are interfering with our own little worlds). Don't get me wrong - I'm as guilty as anyone in this regard. But it is lamentable, at least.

A small act of kindness seems so big in this light. A challenge to all: Do the same thing, or something else, on your way to work tomorrow.
