Once, years ago, I made a list, on a late night flight to my hometown.My sister had called to tell me that our mother was dying and that if I wanted to say goodbye, I needed to get there fast. So I made calls to cancel work and hurried to catch the last flight out.After takeoff, the lights went down and I felt empty and alone.What do you do when you get lonely and theres no one to hold you? How do you fill a hungry heart?I took out a notebook and listed all the kindnesses that Id ever been given.Five hours later, when we landed, I closed the notebook and rushed to the hospital to say goodbye to my mother.Making that list of kindnesses that night helped me in the days ahead to do the things I needed to do and be the daughter I wanted to be.Kindness heals and fills an empty heart. Its a gift, once and for always.Last night it was cold and rainy, so I wrapped myself up in a blanket. Warm then, I recalled being 7 years old in Mrs Harrisons second grade class.That morning, Id worn my new shoes to school. I loved the shoes and all the way to school on the bus couldnt stop looking at them. But when I stepped off the bus, my right foot- and my new right shoe went deep into a puddle of water.Mrs Harrison saw the water I was dripping into class. She said, Give me those shoes and warm your feet by the fire.Thank you, maam, I said.No trouble! We all hit a puddle now and then!I dont know if she remembered it. But I do. It warmed my feet for a few hours. But it has warmed my heart for a lifetime.Often, acts of kindness seem to be the simplest.
