This morning I cried in the car while getting on to the George Washington Bridge.  There was an ambulance pulled over near the toll booth and there was a man laying in the road.  It wasn’t a car accident, but you couldn’t really tell what happened.  He was moving, but not much.  There was cars honking and people getting frustrated in the morning traffic and there I was crying and hoping that someone would be able to meet him at the hospital and help take care of him.  I said a little prayer for that stranger this morning and we drove on.

It isn’t too often that I talk about sad things or really serious things on the blog, but they happen every day. I’m a pretty positive person and I tend to look for the good in everything, but sometimes, you just have to be sad for a minute and accept the reality of a situation.

Sadness is a private thing for me and I’m sure I’m not alone.  That is why it’s important to remember that everyone has a story and you never know what’s going on behind the scenes.  If you are having a positive day, help pass that on to someone else.  Buy the coffee for the person behind you in line, smile at the person passing you on the street, hold the door for someone with their hands full.  To someone else, that could help make their day a little brighter and it didn’t make yours any harder.

It is Random Acts of Kindness week.  If you’ve never been on their fantastic website, click here.  I get a daily dose of their ideas for a simple act of kindness via their Facebook page.  It’s worth checking out.

I know the South is bracing for another storm tonight and I thought it was great that the website shared these heartwarming stories.  Be one of the good people today – you never know who in your path might need a little extra sunshine.
