Mary’s Minute

“A simple act of kindness can create endless ripples”

                                                                ― Pushkar Saraf

 

Last week while on vacation in Zion National Park, we rode a shuttle around the park to observe the beautiful rock formations.  The shuttle bus driver treated us so kindly by letting us stay on the shuttle and directing us where to sit for the best view.  She also waved and smiled at every cyclist on the road.

 As we departed, my sweet mom, handed her a tip, and knowing she would never see this kind woman again, wished her a good life as she thanked her for being so kind.

 Kindness matters. I don’t know for a fact, but I have to believe that the bikers felt the kindness of the waves and smile of our shuttle driver, that the driver was touched by my mother’s kind words, and I know for a fact that I am humbled by the kindness of both of them!  Kindness matters, and it is like a ripple that extends to others in endless and beautiful ways.

 Have a great week!
