Oh my gosh, thank you, Veronica. So now you have started my day today with your kindness. I will have to start filling another suitcase. 💚

Sounds like you had a great trip Heather! I counted 15 acts of kindness! Really renews a person’s faith in humanity when we experience other peoples compassion! Great article!

Good morning, Donna! You are 'spot on' with your count! You are so right - the trip itself was fun....the experiences of kindness we received along the way....priceless. Here's to some kindnesses in your day today! 💚

I found 16 gifts of kindness in Heather's story. Since math is my weakest subject, it's possible my answer might be incorrect. However, I did my best to count.

Hello Blake! I was an English major, so I am never one to judge! I think 16 is about right (who said math had to be an exact number...). I love your answer, because our friend, George, from Indiana, actually did 2 kind things....the golf event and giving me hibiscus seeds....I now have 5 beautiful Indiana hibiscus in my garden in Prescott, Arizona!

I hope you enjoy a day with kindness today! 💚

Hi Heather,

What a wonderful affirmation of kindness - especially when you are open to seeing it.

Thank you, Janice. I'd like to think I was open to these....but I must admit, they kind of smacked me in the face! Hard not to see them. There really are a lot of wonderful people in the world.

What a cool idea for a post. Sounds like you had a great vaycay! Happy summer. (Unfortunately I have to disqualify myself from the contest...I saw the answer first, 😃)
