“I am thankful for my loving marriage of 34 years, my amazing 3 sons, my friends, my health, but underneath these lies my deep gratitude for the kindness that exists within each of us and the willingness to share that kindness with others. Random acts of kindness with friends, family , but especially with strangers. I am especially grateful for random acts of kindness.”
