Good morning all, I hope you've had a great night.  This morning I had a little event in my world. My neighbor's dog escaped his lead and took off like a shot.  I watched this happen from my kitchen window, and wondered to myself if the neighbor might need help.  Then I remembered the time when my treasured little pug, Piggy, escaped from our front door. I ran wildly after him, he doing his best to evade me at every turn. ( little stinker!) My neighbors at the time, sat and watched this happen, one chuckling and the other silent. No one offered to help me, and we were near a major intersection. Finally, thank goodness, I was able to catch my little Piggy (LOL, oh the puns!) and bring him home safely.  After this memory running through my mind, I went over and slipped my croc's on and went out the door, in my pajama's, to help.   It only took about 10 minutes for us to find the dog, thank goodness he hadn't run near the road!   My neighbor thanked me profusely, and commented that these days, it's rare that someone will stop to help another.  I felt really sad at that comment, but know it to be true.  While there ARE people out there who will help others, it has become rare to find that kindness.  I hope that this trend reverses it's self; if we as people try to be a little kinder and care a little more, we can create a better world.  Our society has become afraid of others & self centered, I get that, but maybe just start with a smile to the grocery clerk, or your neighbor. A smile costs nothing and maybe it'll make someones day.  I work daily to break out of my little world, and try to be nice to someone each day. Sometimes it's easier to sit and stew in my own problems, but I know that if someone is nice to me & it makes me feel good; I think others might feel the way I do, so I try to be kind too.  I'd love to hear about your kindness to others, or the time someone was kind to you. Please feel free to leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you. I wish you all the very best of days, smile, stay positive. : )   Blessings!
