Be kind to others
 
The other day, I was driving down the road and I saw this little old lady sort of struggling to haul her groceries down the sidewalk in her stroller/walker, so I stopped to help her. I took her the 5 blocks back to her apartment and when she offered me some money I said absolutely not. I told her I just enjoyed helping her out. Kindness is it's own reward. And remember, it doesnt cost anything to be nice :)

The real reason you stay up late on Thursdays, the real reason you can never find your favorite hat #2, it's all from your young adulthood escapades in kindness. Now kiss my ring.

I could somehow tell from your posts we had something in common. I'm an L&D nurse...I just LOVE babies! :angel:

I am very close to older people because my grandmother and great aunt spent alot of time with me growing up. They were very caring towards me, and what adolescent wants to spend time with an elderly relative unless theyre fored to right? Unfortunately they have both passed on now, and it hasnt been easy dealing with it :(
