Random acts of kindness is the greatest concept since . . . well . . . time began, I guess. I believe all but the worst of us do them, often without even realizing it – and that makes them all the more special. Lovely sentiment, expressed eloquently. 🙂

Bette, that ‘s one of the things about you that I love. You leave heart prints wherever you go. I saw you at my WordPress blog. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to actually take it over, although it seems to run by itself pretty well. 🙂
