I am hoping that the act of writing about the daily kindnesses that people show to me will act to increase my awareness about the overall thoughtfulness and compassion of people in the world. Additionally, I am hopeful that that an increased awareness of kindness and generosity will help me to act in benevolent ways when interacting with others.
So here is the first kind act which I am writing about: Today I received an e-mail from someone thanking me for sending them some information I had promised to send. This person is a busy professional and I, by no means, expected to have her write to me just to say thank you. For her to take even a couple of minutes out of her day just to send me a thank you e-mail was very thoughtful and one which I very much appreciated.
I am off to Ottawa this weekend where hopefully I will be able to pay this kindness forward in a meaningful manner; although I don't want that term confused with the semi-bad movie with child actor Haley Joel Osment, in which he enlightens others on how to "Pay it Forward".
